| Amp Suggestions for Harbeth C7es3 I think Ryder is on the right track here. However, even before doing room treatments, I would suggest playing around with speaker placement and listening position. Given the room size there may not be much you can do, but it is free and completely... | |
| Find the weak link to help me spend $800 or so I agree with you that your system is "pretty damn nice". I do not see a power conditioner listed. If that is not an oversight, that is the first thing I would consider. I believe it would improve the performance of almost every other component. Ev... | |
| Killer Specs for High End PC in 2006 In response to the PC part of your post I would recommend Building the Perfect PC by Robert Bruce Thompson. I believe that reading this will give you a firm basis for designing the PC system you want, and also for dealing with custom PC builders. ... | |

A couple of good commercial sites are www.headphone.com (headroom) and Todd the Vinyl (and headphone)Junkie. All of them provide really usef... | |

| 845 SET recommendation If you are interested in used, you could also look into the Bel Canto amps. There are several for sale right now on Audiogon. They are really nice sounding, and well reviewed when they were in production. The company still stands behind them and p... | |

| opinions please on Tung Sol 6550 vs JJ kt88's Hi Larry. I'm not sure how many replies you will get here, but I would suggest going to audioasylum.com and doing a search in the "tube asylum". I know that both of those tubes have been extensively discussed there. Good luck. | |
| Tube Tester for 2A3 This depends upon whether you just want to test the tubes, or whether you want to match them. If you just want to test them, then something like the Jackson 648 series will do a good job--and it is very easy to use. For this tester you will need t... | |

First, try doing a search on EL84 in the tube section of Audioasylum (www.audioasylum.com). Second, when I researched this the common wisdom was that the nos Phillips w... | |
| Best Amp for Audible Illusions 3A tube or SS The AI 3A will work very well with either tube or solid state amps. No guess work here--I've used it with both. I personally prefer tubes, so that's what I'm using now. Before I went all tube, I used the 3A with a very good solid state amp. I had ... | |
| should i do tube? You have a very nice system there. It seems to be carefully thought out and well balanced. Also, the sim I-5 is a good integrated, so I would advise you to proceed with caution. However, if you have a few grand to spend, I think you can do better ... | |
| Subwoofer for single driver Fostex Voigt Pipes?? Cain & Cain make the "Bailey" sub to go with their "Abbey" speaker (which uses a Fostex driver). That might be a good place to start. Also (and in general) REL subs seem to work with just about everything. And, finally, Omega speakers use Fost... | |
| BAT VK-xx owners: Where do you buy 6c33b tubes? I would also suggest Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio. (www.upscaleaudio.com) He tests and matches the tubes and stands behind them. He may be more expensive than some others, but he sells quality tubes. I doubt that you would have any issues (other th... |
