Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps
Hello Rush,I'm afraid I don't know the brand of the 6sn7 tubes that were in the other 2 pairs of MA-2 amps that I heard. I imagine it was the stock 6sn7 that were supplied with the amps from the factory. Rush, I heard far less of this treble abbre... 
Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps
Hello Jtwrace,Please remember what I'm about to tell you in my post is just my opinion and nothing more. It doesn't mean it's true to anyone else besides me, but it is honest, sincere, and the way I hear it. I was waiting to post hoping that someo... 
Zoethecus Amp Stand
Hello Tlg,Congratulations on the amp stand. All I can tell you is that I was quite surprised from the improvement I got from putting Zoethecus amp stands under my BAT VK150se tube mono-block amps. The system was more articulate and dynamic from to... 
5 Years or More?
Avalon-Eidolon Diamonds. IMO for the size of my room, overall it just doesn't get any better. 
Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers?
Hello,I know Guidocorona was just joking with his post. ... but ... I just would like to clarify for those who may not know. The tempo of a song ( how fast or slow it is played ) has nothing to do with the time signature. Two totally different thi...

what is the best amp you've ever heard
Hello,I have been fortunate enough to hear some of the great amps mentioned above and on speakers I own or have owned. Many of them shine in their own way and outperform each other in certain areas . I feel there is and always will be a trade-off ... 
How do you clean tube pins?
Hi Louis1,Most of the time just by taking a tube out and putting it back in the socket 6 or so times in a row should clean the pins well enough. If not, as mentioned above steel wool or a brush can be used. Make sure to wipe away any lose particle... 
Best outlet
Oyaide .... no doubt in my mind 
Avalon Eidolon Diamond-Worth it?
Hi Nick, I'm using BAT 150se mono-blocks and the BAT REX preamp. I prefer the virtues of good tubes over good solid-state. My front end is digital only at this time which consist of the EMM DAC-6se and the EMM CDSDse. Cabling both interconnects an... 
Avalon Eidolon Diamond-Worth it?
Hello Nickt,For me it was most certainly worth it. Have you had the chance for yourself to compare the two in the same room and system?I can tell you that the Eidolon Diamond is a better speaker in every area of performance. Only you can say if it... 
Levinson 36 to 360s help needed
Hello Chantank,It has been awhile, but I went from a ML-36 DAC to the 360s and to me it was a huge improvement! I felt it was well worth the money. There really wasn't even one area of performance that could compare. BTW, at the time I also had th...

VTL MB450 monos Vs. BAT VK 60se monos?
Hello Imformusa,Assuming the BAT VK-60se monoblock amps can drive your speakers properly my advice would be to .... go with BAT. If you do decide to go with the BAT's it might be a good idea to get a fresh new set of 6c33 output tubes for them. Go...
