How "Rare" are Audio Classics, Really
I'll suggest one more "rare" speaker system: The Infinity Servo Staik (static?) 1A. Note not the SS 1 but the 1A.I think both are rare but I'll bet no one has a working pair of 1A's. Great speaker when it worked.....occasionally. however.Rick (RWD) 
Are the Aesthetix Rhea as popular as years back ?
I also still have mine and I am quite happy with it. As I said in one of my response's the Rhea is a good match with my other components as it adds "flesh and body".RWD Rick 
Infinity RS 1b the one with 4 Towers - Recommend?
My RS1-B's are about 28 yrs old. I originally bought the first pair of RS-1's from Lyric. Then I had them moded to the 1A's. The Arnie Nudel visited me and convinced me to upgrade to the B's. I dit that but also did some extra mods (somewhat simil...

Aesthetix Calypso or ARC LS26?
I replaced my ARC LS 25 MK1 with the Calypso. Very, very close call. I consider the LS25mk1 better then the MK2 (my opinion). I went with the Aesthetix because I had a RHEA phono pre-amp and I felt that the Aesthetix Calypso was a better match due... 
McIntosh MC 275 Mk IV or V with Harbeth M-40.1?
Paul, please let us (me) know the results of the GL KT-88 power tubes you plan to use in the Mac 275. I am also considering changing my power tubes but not sure about Gold Lion (re-issue) or Penta??Tks!Rick (RWD) 
TW AC1 Raven speed control unit and static
Just a final update. I picked up a replacement control unit for my Raven AC1 and it works just fine. I even learned how to fine tune the speed controls. And if I had tried that (speed control) sooner, then all this would have never been an issue. ... 
TW AC1 Raven speed control unit and static
Holy cow......to the rescue and so fast!This afternoon after I called Jeff he got in touch with Thomas W. the designer of my TT!!! They we're both anxious to get a solution to my situation but more importantly to solve it asap. So Jeff offered to ... 
TW AC1 Raven speed control unit and static
I have contacted Jeff. He suggested I use the newer control unit. I am just curious if anyone else had this problem with either the older or newer units.Thanks for the comments 
McIntosh MC 275 Mk IV or V with Harbeth M-40.1?
I am using Telefunkens in the 12ax7's and 12at7's bought here on 'gon.Big (positive) difference. I have not changed the Kt88's butI plan to. Neil (one of the great cotributues here) knows quite a bit about the Mac 275.Rick (RWD) 
McIntosh MC 275 Mk IV or V with Harbeth M-40.1?
I have a (2) MkV (Mac 275) along with the Aesthetix Calypso. The combination of both is quite good. I have two Mac 275's and they are used in mono. However, I had also used one on my system with very good results. The Mac is a bit dryer then the A... 
Original vs. imitation ; MC275 vs. Cayin A88T
I must agree with Tzh21y. I rolled the 12ax7's and T7's and was quite (pleasantly) surprised. I used Telefunken's.Rick (RWD) 
Mac C2300 vs Aesthetix Calypso/Rhea?
These are all good comments...keep them coming! Yes, I love the blue lights on the Mac's, they're very stunning. Although I didn't succumb to the blue light only when I purchased my Mac amps....the MC275's are bare bones. No light at all!The other...
