Tyler Decades Not much press but how good?
The reason I ask if they were they of the same line? Old line or new Decade line? The tone should have been the same as he uses the same drivers for each line. The only thing I can think is you listened to his Taylo monitors (1 woofer and tweet) v...

Larry...What models were you exposed to? 
New Marantz SA11S2?
That was to Mr. Tennis

Do what??? 
Levinson 23.5 question
Yes its normal I am pretty sure. My 27.5 did the same thing and also a buddies 331.5 did it. 
Preamp suggestions for Thiel 3.6 & Bryston 4B-sst
Cables can help with warmth also. Good suggestion on the LS-15. 
Recommend a 6922 input tube for CJ Premier 140
I had decent luck with Matsushita 6DJ8 without breaking the bank in my BAT VK5i. While I know its a preamp I researched other options for 6922's and these tubes were highly recommended. 
Ultralinear vs. Triode
I just listened to my Rogue Tempest II in triode last week for the 1st time. Not sure if I liked it over Ultralinear. In some ways it sounded better but the dynamics and slam were not there and the soundstage was set futher back. I think UL is ove... 
Levinson 331 humming followup...
So Levinson obviously was putting inferior caps on most of the 300 series amps? Wonder what the cost savings was and did they know the Phillips caps were inferior? 
Which 6SN7's for Rogue 99 Pre
I agree with Maxmad. RCA Gray glass are great and don't cost an arm and a leg. Ken-Rads are very good also. 
Anyone using Tyler Acoustics Pro Dynamics speakers
I have heard them with low powered tube amps. They do sound very good. I would call Ty directly as these speakers do sound somewhat different than his conventional speakers. 
Ayon Triton the best tubes amp in the market?
Did you stay at the Holiday Inn ;) 
BAT VK31SE and the VK55
I don't think the 60 is as neutral as the 55 from what I hear but thats not necessarily a bad thing. I believe the 75 evolved from the 60. Goodluck with the rack and enjoy your new purchase :) 
BAT VK31SE and the VK55
I think any preamp above the 5i will mate up well. I wouldn't bother with the VK5 because the 5i was an upgrade. I had the 5i at two different times and really liked it. I borrowed a buddies VK-55 for about 3 months and absolutely loved it. Stereo... 
BAT VK31SE and the VK55
Yes it mates well with the VK5i. The 55 is a wonderful amp.
