New Marantz SA11S2?
Please don't listen to what Mr Tennis says about this player. His previous posts pretty much tell me his hearing is very different than most here. I think you will find this to be very true if you search. It must be alien like...lol. I do not have... 
What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ?
Most full range speakers still lack deep bass and I think a sub that is integrated well fills out the bottom regions when done right. Plain and simple most speakers just don't get below 28-30Hz. My last set of speakers played down to 30Hz but I kn... 
Which 6sn7 tubes for Rogue Magnum 99
Mark told me if you want more transparency or pop which is what I wanted he said with Sylvania GTB's. He was right and I bought a pair relatively cheap and love them. They were NOS tall boys and talking about dynamics. Lusher sounding tubes would ...

Why don't you call Ty and discuss with him and see what kind of price you can get. He also gets trades alot. Worth a shot!!! 
Power Cable options for Levinson 300 series
Do you have dedicated circuits? 
Good amps for Thiel CS 3.7 speakers?
Nice compliment there Toetapfactor. I will make sure to consult you on my next purchase...lol. Actuary you will have a very nice system. Enjoy the hell out of it. The 3.7's are very nice speakers and so are the newer Bryston amps. 
Power Cable options for Levinson 300 series
I guess the higher powered amps did but of ALL the ML amps I have seen none did. I still am suprised because of exactly what you mentioned about trying different powercords. Typically older amps or preamps had powercords built in. I know the 331 a... 
Power Cable options for Levinson 300 series
No the 300 series does not have built in power cables. I am surprised the 33H's do but I have never seen one in person so I can't help you there. 
Levinson Amp Experts, I need your help please
I have owned or heard several ML amps. I think the later 300 series does sound the best. I do agree with Steven when he said their amps are true to the source. My opinion is most of their amps are neutral. One of my buddies also has owned several ... 
NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II
Which ones did you try? 
NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II
I agree totally about the 5751's. They made quite a difference over the stock 12AX7's. More clarity and focus. I do have some RCA clear tops that I will put in sometime soon for comparison. As far as the 6SN7's I bought the NOS Sylvania GTB tall b... 
Name the tube amp in the Lexus commercial
House also had an episode where he had a Honda CBR1000rr Repsol Edition on his show. I assume he rides cool sportbikes like I do...lol :) 
NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II
Yes I agree the power tubes can get pricy. I'll get there sooner or later and thank goodness I only use 4. It does seem from what I am reading that the 5751's are working better in most systems. I will try some those RCA cleartops before long. 
NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II
Hey thats good to hear about the 5751's over the Telefunkens. You might think differently ;) What do you like better about the 5751's? Are they more precise, less fuzzy, and focused or do the Telefunkens have more top end energy, etc....I got my t... 
What is the 'BAT sound'?
I don't BAT pre's have a particular "tubey" sound like the older ARC's but have a wonderful engaging midrange. The newer ARC's have a less tubey sound but have not heard any. A buddy of mine has a LS16MKII which I want to hear soon but he says its...
