Review: DeZorel G2 AC filter
Larry- Can you use the DeZorel IN CONJUNCTION WITH the Equi=Tech?? I ask because I have ordered a Balanced Power Tech BPT 2.5 and am wondering if there is any benefit to 'daisy chaining' it with something else like a DeZorel. Are you using these t... 
Short list of dacs for CEC TL-2X
Audio Note 3.1 Balanced ($6k). Incredible detail retrieval/pass through and super low noise floor with amazing bass- will mate well with the smooth sonic signature of the CEC. I have been using the AN 3.1 with a Spectral 3000 transport with stunni... 
Need Feedback on Sistrum Platforms Rack
I have a pair of the larger SP-6 racks. Resolution in the system has increased- finer musical details easily noticeable now- you should also consider their Sonoran Plateau micro-bearing shielded IC's- excellent, and follow the same principle as th...

Coincident UHS speakers,,,,,,anyone own a pair?
Total Victory- can do the 'shock and awe' thing yet also portray the lightest dynamic shading gradient changes- truly impressive- mine are hear to stay. I use ASL 1009 tube monoblocks- this combo just made HP's (Absolute sound) 'Super Component' l...

Are the better $$$ 845 tubes worth it sonically??
Thanks guys- great comments. Re: the KR 845's, KR said ~ 3,000 hours. I am CERTAINLY not going to pay the $1,700 CDN that our local Canadian distributor wants for the quad set I would need to have them last only a bit over 1 year...However, Ecclec...

Trelja- what's up guy? Jcb didn't get back to the thread when I asked about NOS 845 tube longevity- I may contact him about this...Ecclectique (I like that moniker a lot btw!)- I am happy with the Mullards I have, but am unsure of exact vintage an... 
Bryston Vs Theta
Here's' a vote for the Dreadnaught. If I had not dismantled my HT system and gone back to 2-ch, it would have stayed forever... 
Are the better $$$ 845 tubes worth it sonically??
Ecclectique- thanks for the response- the biggest influence I have found so far is the input/phase split tube upgrade- went with a quad matched pair of Mullard 12au7's- fantastic! OK, I will stick with the stock 845's- my guru buddy (Israel Blume ... 
Are the better $$$ 845 tubes worth it sonically??
Jcb- longetivity??!! I had heard that this is where the 845's are NOT as good as some other tubes- i.e. KR themselves just this afternoon quoted me ~ 3,000 hours max for the 845 tube... That is a big concern as the system is used for HT & 2-ch...

Review: Antique Sound Labs Hurricane Tube amp
Wow- what a thoroughly excellent review! After reading this, I am now tempted to write one on my amps too- the ASL 1009 845-based monoblocks. Great job!
