ARC Tube preamp suggestions
LS7 is very lush. 
Ideal preamp for Krell FPB 200
I would think the next step up or two from a BAT VK5i would be a good choice. 
Which Pre-amp. match with Krell KSA 200S Pow. Amp?
BAT pre's work well also. 
DCCA or Shunyata help?
How much do you want to spend? I would buy used but Don is chiming in here so I would talk to him and I don't think he would steer you wrong. I have not heard his latest powercords so can't comment on their sound. 
Best nos 6sn7g for my Atmasphere mp1.
Yes I know he is still in business because I ordered from him not long ago. 
DCCA or Shunyata help?
I had a Taipan Alpha version sometime ago and while its a good powercord, the Helix is miles ahead of it. The older model Taipans have too much glare or upper mid energy for my taste. I also had a DCCA Extreme Ref and it was a decent powercord, th... 
Can You Expalin Why Power Cables Do This?
Mac your a lucky man then :) 
Can You Expalin Why Power Cables Do This?
Macdadtexas I safely assume you do NOT ever hear any differences in powercords right? They ALL sound the same? 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
Without reading any of the responses I would say 3.7's. Personally I think Wilson's are overrated and I know for a fact that the 3.7's are very very good speakers because a buddy of mine has them and they image like a bitch. They do require power ... 
NOS Tubes for Rogue Tempest II
If you can try the GE triple mica black plates. 
New Marantz SA11S2?
Are your Western Electric cords of recent build or older? The ones I had are older and either double or single braided. The single braid was for lower wattage and double higher and higher gauged. The older double braids are double wrapped or wound... 
New Marantz SA11S2?
Mr Tennis which Western Electric powercord do you have, the single or double braid??? I had both in my system and they are very detailed and made my system sound kind of thin. For the money they are good powercords and not many out there but just ... 
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 ...
