Better tuner than Denon TU1500RD for $285 budget?
Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FMtuners/ and ask these guys. They know everything you need to know. 
Any info on power conditioners seen in industial
Many people claim they will help the sound. I have a couple on my system except to the amps and it seems to have quieted it down a hair. I'm not sure though. They do protect very well though. For the money the Powervar and Oneac units are a bargai... 
Is the significance of room acoustics overrated?
Room acoustics are huge. But I don't think they are overrated. I can tell that many people have no idea how important an good acoustical environment is. At least there are many who have little or no room treatment yet spend hundreds or more on cab... 
Tell me about your sweet spot.
My VMPS Supertowers crossfire about two feet in front of me. Works excellently. 
That tube sound
I'll second the ARC. I finally wore down too. Won't be using a SS pre anytime in the near future. The difference will make you wonder why you waited so long. 
Need second amp recommendation.
I'd get a Parasound Hca 3500 or 2200 or something similar. I had the Marsh a400s and although an excellent amp it could get loose in the low end at high volume. I'm speaking from experience with the same speakers. Anything smaller than 200wpc for ... 
does anyone know anything about the Carver TFM-24?
I owned another tfm Carver amp and was quite surprised. It taught me how much different an amp can sound. It was awful. Fortunately I had only bought it to toy with. It sounded thin and had no soundstage. I'm a guy who doesn't believe that amps so... 
classe ca-300 or bryston 4b sst for thiel 2.4
I agree with the above post. Try a different tube preamp. That can make a large difference. Going to the Bryston is a waste of time imo. 
Suggestion please: How to improve sound.
Treat the rear wall behind your sytem and maybe a couple feet out on the ceiling and walls. This is the LEDE(live end dead end) practice and works excellently. Room treatment is extremely important and will affect the sound ALOT. Electronics and c... 
200 to 300 wpc amp revised question
If you're listening at levels that may cause clipping then 200 wpc is a good idea. It's better to have more than you need. I'm a firm believer in having more than I need and at present my 200wpc amp is adequate. I often listen at levels with peaks... 
Audio Research LS-15 with Plinius SA100 MKIII
You'll want to make sure the power amp has a high enough input impedance for the LS 15. I know on my LS 16 ARC recommends at least 40k minimum input impedance. 
Tuner/MD 108 Question
I'd call them. If your signal strength is that strong it should be coming as stereo. Sounds like something isn't working properly. The above advice regarding getting an outdoor yagi is a good one. My old Kenwood (modded) sounds almost like cd's. I... 
Best Power Conditioner
Check out the 12 amp Powervar's for sale here on audiogon. Am very pleased. Using for a Marsh A400s amp and no compression as is often claimed. Actually I bought it for something else but tried it with my amp to see if I could hear the compression... 
Power conditioning
Received a 12 amp Powervar yesterday and tried it with my Marsh A400s plugged into it. Didn't expect much but am leaving it there. Got it for other duties but detail and openness along with a better S/N ratio means it's staying for amp duties. I l... 
Marsh A400S Balance or RCA?
It could be in some cases the match could be better. I doubt much difference will be there most of the time. Too many very high quality companies like Conrad Johnson that don't even give you the option for it to be that major. If you have very lon...
