| ARC VS110 tubes I was told ARC is extremely careful matching tubes (read high rejection rate 20 good tubes out of 100) if you don't have a tester to check what your getting they may be the safest bet. They make their money on electronics, I think tubes are more o... | |
| Most Important? "Weakest link" a "good" rack and some isolation for your components including some isolation tweeks sorbogel, points etc., innerconnects & speaker cables & the room, your choice of the order ! S/C very important but not "paramount". | |

| Which tube preamp meets all these needs? Ericjcabrera, an Aesthetix Calypso has everything plus remote phase switching ,used between$2500-3000. Tube rolling gives big results with 12Ax7WB imput and 6922 output and because of the many choices available in these two types the sound is very... | |
| New Plasma: 1080p or 750? If your going to watch Blue Ray movies and play games get 1080p LCD and get the fastest refresh rate you can afford. Be very AWARE of the GLARE issues with Plasma if it is going to be in a room with multiple windows. | |
| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922 The Amperex 7308 PQ US White Label or ( USN-CEP) are extremely close to the 6922 PW's, a little "fuller" in all ranges. The 6922 PQ White Label is also" fuller" in all ranges but seems to be less detailed with a bigger mid range,I don't find it as... | |
| Tube Rolling In Audio Research Phono Preamp Before you wonder away $975 on three pinched waists try Amperex 7308 PQ White Label 60's or USA-CEP's, very close to the PW's in my system, at a fraction of the price. | |
| Denon DVD 2500BTCI Blue Ray or Denon 3930CI player I don't think you can use the DVD-2500BTCI without a HDTV, from the Denon site description "This device does not have any analog outputs".

| Vinyl vs. CD & HD from A.C.A... Thank you!!!! | |
| recommend excellent balance XLR cable for me plz? I can't imagine the 1130 making your system "cold or dry" they are a good cable that is more towards the warm smooth side " in my system". More Sky will be along, in the meantime why not audition both? | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Power Cord I use a Virtual Dynamics David 2.0 with excellent results, dynamics, sound stage etc....... | |
| recommend excellent balance XLR cable for me plz? I've had 1130's they're very nice but I prefer AQ Sky's detail with warmth "in my system". They come up on Agon at your price but you have to pounce or they're gone | |

| 6922 Recommendation for my BAT VK-3iX Preamp I suggest Amperex US 7308 PQ White Label 60's, my reasoning is:This is a quiet well balanced tube by design.It presents hi's, mid's and lows evenly.(well balanced)You can try them for a reasonable price.You will hear your system through this tube.... |
