Naim XS3 or Elicit-R to replace ELex-R
I used to buy the new Elicit R and did not accept the sound. Sold out quickly. The designer in Rega must be different person.  
Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ?
I do not have any of this brand,but I get rid of face book and Twitter almost the same time.  That's the right things to do  and for a corp. , That means they lose a channel to promote themselves, which gain my respect.  
Muzishare R100 300B 805 ... My Review and opinion
805 or 845 is a king in the tube world,and this time, the amplifier is the set one,which make the sound even beautiful.i am doubt before that, op do have a chance to listen 805 or 845 amplifiers? If that does not happened before, it is the reason ... 
6H30 replacement
@mulveling you are talking about the key issue. 6h30 is a very strong horse,and very difficult to ride in the pre. Once they are going to  ride, doesn't not say they can ride  good. Very few companies have the ability to ride this strong horse ... 
Audio Research Reference 210 vs. Audio Research Ref 250 SE
Later model better, so does the price. Power Amplifier is key good things for this company. Some one might say the pre is also very good, but when you compared with other products, Audio research is standing out for their power amplifiers.    
Pathos Heritage
Tube might be the problem.  If you can not check the tube, use the new matched new tube to try .  
How important is the pre-amp?
The pre DO make the signal large. If the theory is talking  the pre is just let the signal pass,it is wrong! The signal from the DAC is not  large enough for amplifier, unless the DAC has a pre inside. The early stage matter! Both the DAC and pr... 
What Class A is better? SUGDEN FPA-4 or PASS LABS XA-25
I listen that Sughen amplifiers in different models, the sound is  not that good. Pass is better.  
Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK?
I got return and refund of the ISO MAX transformer finally. It has strong noise for my system, I do not know how other's situation.        
Don Sachs DS2 Preamp - too good to be true?
You better compared with same tube pre with Modwright and Atma-sphere and then talk. There is slogan here" Tube amp are very difficult to make bad SQ" This slogan is especially true for some one just coming from SS amplifier,as there are differe... 
Are Quicksilver power tube amps in the same league as VAC, VTL, BAT, ARC, ...?
What I can tell you is that Audio Research is super super reliable as long as you  take it normally.  With more than 25 years, you can use it in good condition.  What else tube amplifier could be that way? I do not know.    
Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK?
I wrote email 3 days ago and they do not reply me yet.    
Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates
@sandthemall   +1             " Knowing what I know now,I would have gotten a Line Magnetic or a Luxman Class A integrated.             "Primaluna is something I should have tried much earlier in my journey"   Very good words! You talk about t... 
Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates
@canibefrank  The most weakness of the integragted amplifier is that the pre and power inside used the some electric source, and then splite energy inside,so the  pre affect the power, and power affect the pre, which suppose to be independent. Pr... 
Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates
Different brand tube amplifier make the sound huge differently.
