upscale audio is this legal?
Totally DIFFERENT amp AND not even an I? Are you sure it's a CARY? Checking serial numbers on anything is the first thing you should do. Look in the manual. I even wrote down the serial numbers on 4 new Nordost power cords I bought. 
what would you do?
Spring for a new V12I or V12R faceplate, just don't sell it to me. 
what would you do?
A V12 is marked V12. V12I is marked with an I and a V12R is marked with an R. How did you and/or your friend not know for a year and a half? No one looked at the serial numbers or the faceplate? It's probably too late to do anything now, but maybe... 
what would you do?
Ask if they'd upgrade it to a V12R due to the oversite. 
Is it really possible to compare A/B speakers??
I actually did the A/B speaker test with Linn Majik 140's and Lipinski L 707's. I used an all tube system 1 speaker at a time, then hooked all 4 to a Linn Classik SS all in one unit. One clear advantage is that I got to compare the speakers and wi...

Is it really possible to compare A/B speakers??
Speaker A on the left speaker B on the right. Then try to compare both sets. 
Power Cords - Just Say Yes
Sorry, I meant I may try the Qv2. Try some power cords first. They made more of a difference than going from Electro-Harmonic Kt-88 tubes to Genalex Gold Lion tubes. I'm still burning everything in. Good luck. 
Top monitors 3K - 6K range
You really need to hear Lipinski L505 or L 707's. Fantastic sound. The only way I'll ever sell my L707's is to move up to the bigger models @ 10K each. Happy listening. 
One sub or two or none?
I'm not a bass freak, but I run 2 M&K KX 10's 8" 125 watt powered subs in a 12x14 bedroom. I use Lipinski L 707 monitors. I can tell a difference using either one or 2 and 2 sounds better. I don't play music very loud and really have no big ne... 
Power Cords - Just Say Yes
Powder, I actually have the QB4, more of a grounding devise, with an all tube system running through it. The 4 new Blue Heaven power cords really made most of the differences to me. As far a the Qx goes maybe a Qx2. The other devises are more than...

I'll ask Paul of Nordost. I just got 4 1M Blue Heaven power cords, and I can't beleive the difference they make compared to stock cords. The volume seems to be stronger, and the music clearer. I just went from stock tubes to Gold Lion Kt88's and t... 
Genelax KT88 Tube dimension/height?
I just got an octet of Genelax Gold Lion KT-88's for 360.00 I'm burning them in right now. Not sure about cryo'd but George at Music Center may be able to help you out. 800-704-7086

Thanks to all. I'll probably try some type of Nordhost IC's since I have their speaker wires and power cords. 
What speakers under 2000$US for...
Linn Majik 140's. I had a pair for about 1 year and used them with SS, and they sounded excellent with tubes. I only sold them to make room for Lipinski L707's. I ran one Linn and one Lipinski at the same time and the Linn was pretty close. I've o...
