For ARC lovers, Problems?
Tubes would continually blow. I had an authorized dealer fix it and the factory as well. I finally had to give up. I must say it was a glorious sounding piece of equipment. I miss it but I only had it half the time.  
Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice.
I had the ref 6. It was a beauty. I can't imagine how good the 6SE would be. 
At wits' end with radio through the speakers!
Oh brother.I have the exact same problem(not with a Herron) and no matter what I’ve tried from everybody I’ve spoken to nothing helps. SS or tube. It suddenly started one day and I wonder if some sort of magnetic field developed in my large apartm... 
Songs that make your system sound AWSOME!
Annie Lennox Whiter Shade of Pale 
What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it?
Audio Research Ref 10. The most gorgeous sound. No longer own it. Heartbreaking. 
Are there any tube amps that don't give off any---
How lucky you are that you can listen to any music from even a solid state system on warm days without having to turn on the air conditioning. I'd like to move to the North Pole at this point just so I can listen to music from June to October with... 
REL T/9i or S5
Thanks for all your responses. I'll be getting something in the lower end of the S series. 
Lemons are an actual thing in high-end audio
I just came off of a very very bitter experience with a lemon(used.) Not only did I spend a lot of money getting it repaired a few times but the biggest problem was the sound it made was so magical and compelling I couldn’t believe these sounds we... 
Cool it!
Do you enjoy your music even with a window air conditioner going? Or do all of you have central air?  
VTL S-200 Tube recommendations
I thought the VTL was a wonderful amp but I bought as a demo. When I called them with a question Bea was extremely unpleasant. It got to the point where I refused to call them. I've bought other product as demos or used where the company was extre... 
Why go out???
My favorite movie experiences were the great NY midtown palaces in the 70s. They occasionally showed 70mm prints with 6 channel stereo which pinned you to the back wall of the theater. And there was the time Radio City showed a gorgeous Technicolo... 
Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings
How is the audience noise on the Furtwangler Music and Arts? At times they all seem to be suffering from influenza. 
VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER!
What an odd thing to say. Do super expensive cars give car collectors a bad name? Do super expensive breeds give show pet owners a bad name? My superscout master sounds spectacular with a great cartridge. I happen to find the bling attractive, the... 
Can you put a Krell in an apartment?
In terms of size and weight why would you even want this in a small apartment especially if at some point you want to change things around?I honestly wish I had the space for something like this but you might see it turn into a major headache phys... 
Classical Music for Aficionados
For pure joy on Vanguard the Eugene List The World of Louis Moreau Gottschalk along with Grand Tarantelle with Nibley and A Night in the Tropics with Abravanal is a must have. Less weighty but it will make you very happy.
