ASR Emitter II Exclusive question
My advice would be to leave the control unit and 2x power supplies on their own feet. I noticed very little difference as they are so heavy they possibly dampen any vibration themselves. The battery supply i have sat on some no-spikes, though agai...

ARC Ref and tube rolling
I did swap the 4 6h30p's for 6h30DR's supplied by the tubestore and liked it very much. More open, detailed well worthwhile though costly now. Power Tubes were better as standard, i tried a Tung-sol 6550 and it seemed a bit bloated, so swapped bac... 
Crossovers, Internal or External?
Thanks John, some helpful points there. It seems odd that leakage is so common? I am planning/designing a pair of speakers also, though i dont expect them to be ready for 6-9 months, and when they are and if it's viable we will do a small run of t... 
Tubelike SS Power amp
Luxman M800. Ive not heard it myself, but several friends/colleagues have and rate it highly.

But how did it sound? 
What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates?
A used ASR Emitter 1 with battery if you can find one, it wont be the more recent gold board, but it will still give the sound you may be after. It can also generate plenty of current and work with difficult speakers (not knowing what you have). L... 
Homegrown Audio HGA
Very many thanks for the responses here, they do help. Mitch2, interesting you comparing the HGA with the HT pro9, as that is the other cable I'm thinking of. I'm using HT Fantasy at the moment, and once my new amp arrives, i may look at a better ... 
Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II
Possibly worth looking for a used ASR Emitter, 1 or 2, i would imagine it would fit what your after, does not sound like ss. You may not want to swap back even..

Are you moving on from your MBL Arthursmuck? Please let me know how you get on.. Cheers 
thinking of trying the arc ref 110
Ref 110 is a very good sounding amp, bass is excellent after a vs110, i used one for a while,unfortunately the fans drove me mad though, in my view they ruin the music if you cant listen above a certain level late at night. I did set them on low b... 
diy power cable
3/8" diameter solid core? I thinks thats called a rod, not cable.. I don't know of any domestic connector that will fit this, any reason for the size?Best, P. 
Homegrown Audio HGA
I should have added that i'm needing 25ft runs of each, so they do become more critical.. Thanks for the reply, any one else? 
Krell KPS20i to current RBCDP, Enough difference?
Well, I have arranged a loan MBL1531, which ill start with, and can bring a CD 8 into the system at any time, did you (Elberoth2) find any preference with IC'c and PC's? Unfortunately the Arc gear is now close to 1:1 with the dollar here in the uk.. 
Krell KPS20i to current RBCDP, Enough difference?
Elberoth2, I was hoping you might chip in here, as i was aware that you had the 1531 from your postings, i would have sent a pm soon, so many thanks for the info. How would you say the cd8 and 1531 differ in terms of sheer 'musicality' and getting...
