Atma-sphere S-30 with Reference 3A?
If Sean wanted to stick with Atma-sphere would a Speltz transformer to raise the impedance be adviseable, or the S-30 just less than ideal for the DeCapo? 
Atma-sphere S-30 with Reference 3A?
I take it that if Mrderrick's M60s work with the DeCapo the impedance curve should be fine for the S-30. 
Atma-sphere S-30 with Reference 3A?
It is enough power with the DeCapo's sensitivity (92db?), only question is does the DeCapo have a smooth impedance curve which is important with the OTLs, 30 watts should be enough watts though. The M-60s are way more than enough watts with my 89d... 
Anyone compared Aerial 20T and Eggleston Andra II?
I agree with Steve. Not that the other speakers you are interested are not excellent; but if the Thiel's are you weakest link, you must have some might fine electronics and front-end. 
Anyone compared Aerial 20T and Eggleston Andra II?
The Thiel are excellent speakers. What electronics are you using to drive them? If I wanted to make a move to tube amps I might consider a different speaker as they are not easy loads for the tubes, but they are first rate speakers. 
whats the best addition u have bought for system
What is your budget now and over time? 
Best U.S.A. speakers?
Merlin, Nola (a.k.a Alon), Thiel, Vandersteen, Magnaplanar and Devore. I've not yet heard Zus, but they appear to have a growing following. 
Genalex GL KT88 Reissue on Conrad Johnson 12
Thank you. I will give him a call. 
Genalex GL KT88 Reissue on Conrad Johnson 12
What would be a trustworthy source for the Genalex reissues in terms of proper testing and matching? 
Best line stage $600 or under?
I have owned many passives, most recently Placette, Goldpoint, and BENT-TAP. For bang for your buck, and possibly in absolute terms, impossible to beat he Music Reference Pot-in-a-Box for $135 using a old Noble port used in the original ARC SP-6. ... 
Verity Audio Parsifal vs. Aerial 10T
I agree the Parsifal should be auditioned, it is a wonderful speaker, but their are other contenders - no product is "best". 
Tube Rolling 12AX7 - Need Advice/Suggestions
Ditto on Thorman's comments. It is doubtful the RCA NOS will be beat by current production, unless you are having microphony or noise with your RCAs. 
Recommended 12au7/5814s for Atma-sphere MP-3
If there is no "danger" I will give them a try in the 12au7 slot. Thanks. 
Verity Audio Parsifal vs. Aerial 10T
The Parsifals are indeed wonderful, and can understand anyone choosing them, especially with the ribbon tweeter. The Merlins were a bit more finicky with amplifiers in the past, they defintely worked best with tubes. I still use tubes, but they wo... 
Recommended 12au7/5814s for Atma-sphere MP-3
Rodman99999, or anyone else, will the 12BH7 tube work in the MP3 as a replacment for the 12au7? Is that a safe replacement? Ralph?
