Tube amp on the floor or on the rack?
Get audio points and set the amp on those, and then put it on the floor. Try that then try just putting it on the ground, I don't notice a difference personally. FWIW I am friends with the owner/designer of a highly regarded tube amp company and h... 
Against everything that high end cables stand for
Justlisten-Interesting point you bring up, though not always true, I am planning on getting a new CD player in spring and it is significantly less then my current digital system and sounds much much better. Also I think I would upgrade speakers to...

Keriadums-First of all very unusual moniker, what the hell does it mean??? Secondly copper as pure as your stating I believe was 99.99999% pure is only available from 2 mining plants in the world and doesn't have the typical "tainted" copper color... 
Audio Aero Capital CD vs SACD
Mike-I am very surprised with your comments, though the Linn is one of the few greats that I haven't listened too. In particular with the SACD I noticed the opposite, it didn't have anything on the Capitole. Though it is possible the Valhalla is a... 
Who R U?
John-Great to have you here, it seems that you and I(among most other members) share the same interests! If you are looking for more possible local audiophiles check out the Where RU????? thread, it has helped me meet a few. Look forward to seeing... 
Pre-amp Suggestions for Tubes & Electrostats
I agree with Jtinn, the audio aero is amazing, it does things digital shouldn't be able to do! I think a few more listening sessions(with the capitole) and I will be ordering one, I am speechless as to describe how good it sounds. I think if it wa... 
Audiophile oddities
Those are blessed audio rocks, and should not be spoken of poorly-they are an integral part of the function of the device, besides YBA had no other place to put them :) That is sort of weird, maybe it means my accuphase pre is filled with cocaine ... 
calling all audiophiles
Kelly- I think your on to something!! 220v used with 110v gear would yield twice the output power of the amp, brilliant!! So if I do that my tube amp would produce 120watts for each channel, and the tubes would double as a night light!!! BTW I kno...

Audio Aero Capital CD vs SACD
Badwisdom-I have the accuphase DC-300 digital pre/dac which uses the same DAC as the DP-75v, some believe it sounds better then the DP-75v, I could not say myself ie they are very close. The Capitole sounds better on every concievable level then t... 
Can Someone Explain This?

Can Someone Explain This?
I may not be able to answer your problem but I am real cute and like chocolate ;) Bah it was worth a shot!Tim 
Audio Aero Capital CD vs SACD
I have spent a lot of time with the audio aero unit and I think I may unload my accuphase gear and get one(capitole) in spring. I have the accuphase and an SACD player(9000es, not the best but not bad either) and there is no comparison, the accuph...
