6C33C-B tubes
Can I ask where you are finding NOS 6C33C tubes? I'm getting an Atmasphere Novacron that uses 8 and would like to buy a few extra back-ups. :-)(Dealer dislcaimer) 
Brinkmann Bardo and Tri-Planar VII-U armrest issue
Talk to your dealer, he should be able to tell you why.(dealer disclaimer) 
Audio Note Japan AN-S7 MKII Silvered Former
If it's not a AN-S7Cz then it's most likely only worth $1200-1500 at best. The AN-S7Cz was much more flexible than the newer KSL-SFz and unless you are using an AN-IOm catridge the 7 is the better step-up. BTW a new KSL-SFz only costs $2500 out of... 
AC cables for Atmasphere MA1s, MP1?
I use 2 Canorus (PAD) but they are first fed into a Pranawire Linebacker. Excellent results into my M60's.(Dealer disclaimer)

Brinkmann TT with an SME arm - any experiences?
FYI:December 14, 2013 - Brinkmann Audio of Germany announces the launch of Brinkmann USA as its direct-to-dealer sales arm in the United States.Let's see what this brings to the table.(Dealer disclaimer) 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo
Charles1dad you are so right. Just because something costs more doesn't make it better. I myself have learned the hard way, a Kondo SOUGA amp ($50K) was easily beaten by an Atmasphere S30 (with the right speaker...not the Crescendos) and my Kondo ... 
Isolation platforms for turntables
Sorry 11flat6 regarding your compatibility problems with the passive Vibraplane. When I sell these units (now more than 6,000 sold world-wide) I never would sell a passive version to anyone that was going to use it with a linear tracking tonearm. ...

Tannoy Speakers & Bi-wiring
Red I bet you would hear even a bigger improvement with the Zero-Autotransformer used with the Atmasphere amps. I know I did using my M60's with some Acoustic Zen Crescendos. (Dealer dislaimer) 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo
My Crescendos are 8 feet out into the room and 8 feet apart (measured from the inside of each speaker) and I sit 9 feet in front. I actually like sitting closer you get better depth and feel more part of the music. 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo
So I'm approaching the 250 hr mark on my Crescendos and they are finally starting to "relax". I thought they were going to be to hi-fi sounding as I find most multi-driver cone speakers sound IMHO. For over 12 yeas now I've been a no crossover des... 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo
Ejaynycrrcom I use the Crescendo's in a 16 x 28 x 10.5 room and they are about 8 feet out into the room and they easily pressurize the room, and they are not anywhere broken-in yet!(Dealer disclaimer) 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo
Thanks for the replies. Given that my mono-blocks use a total of 24 tubes I only have them on for 6-8 hrs a day, I don't even have 75 hrs total. Today a good friend brought over a ss amp/tuner that I can leave on 24/7, maybe in another 4-6 weeks I...
