How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre
Thanks guys for the replies.When I get them in this week I give it a go and if I like what I hear I'll give Robert a call and see what other possibilities there are. My monoblocks will be on the floor with just the Apprentices underneath but I'll ... 
How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre
Great thread to read. I've been using Herbies products under my components which sit on an Adona rack while my monoblocks sit on a maple slab on the floor. Anybody here try an Apprentice under their components on a non Star Sound rack? I've got so...

Tomg95123-Do you have your Apprentice platforms on the floor or do you have them under components on a separate rack?I just took a leap of faith today myself, purchased three SP-SA 03's that I'll experiment with components on my Adona rack and mon... 
Star Sound Apprentice platforms

Wells Audio Akasha Amplifier- Any owners here?
I've read nothing but great things as well about the Wells Audio amps but there's a guy on Audiocircle that replaced his Innamorata with a Aaron No.3 amp and says it bested the Wells amp in every way. The Aaron amp is cheaper too!

From the little bit I've been reading about tubes and tube vendors Andy at Vintage and Kevin Deal at Upscale seem to have the most positive feedback from everybody I've read about. Thanks again for the replies!

How long does it normally take to receive tubes from Andy? I called and ordered some RCA's from him almost two weeks ago but have not seen them yet.
