Hifi Rose 150B vs. Auralic Altair G2.1
I had to make the same choice recently and chose the Aurelic G2.1 which i got a demo version at a store for $3500. I found the Rose to be a bit forward and bright and the Altair to be fuller and more neutral. Which did you choose Steve

No Sound for TV apps thru Marantz AVR
Thank you  - I adjusted my setting as suggested - and things are working better, but the youtube videos (played on the LG TV) are only being processed by my AVR in stereo through my front 2 speakers. I would like to hear the youtube videos through... 
Is this possible ....
Hello - so I get this up with the Marantz AVR model 7012 and I go from the Preout on the Marantz and I go into the (single ended) PreProcessor input on the ARC LS25. I then put the ARC setting to preprocessor and yes it work buy I hear a slight hu... 
Life of KT150 tubes on ARC Amps
I have an ARC VT200 amp that I love(d) (with an ARC LS25 mk II preamp) - it sounds great - but the pain and expense of retubing it has become just too much for me. I just bought a pass labs X250.8 amp to replace the VT200. It's wasn't just the exp...

Hi - thanks for your reply - it was very informative. The current version for Anthem is MRX720.Do you know what the 720 gives you over the 710.Also - if I am going with only traditional surround with 5 speakers can i still get a 7 speaker system ?... 
Pass Labs X250.8 or MC452 ?
Thank you very much - just want to be sure its a match with my pre-amp (ARC 25 Mk II). I think it's a bit problematic that I have no way of hearing the amp in my system before shelling out wither $6K for used amp or $8.5K for a new one.Steve 
Pass Labs X250.8 or MC452 ?
Yes - my Aerial 10Ts are 20 years old - after I get my new amp I will look for Aerial 7's as well.Have you ever heard of Moon 760A amp - is that an option ? 
Is going from Aerial 10T to Aerial 7T a significant upgrade ?
Thx - an audition for me is a bit of a problem.I'm in Manhattan and the closest Aerial dealer is in Philadelphia.Steve
