Long Speaker Cables/Short Interconnect or reverse
Oops- that's "Clear Day" Double Shotgun cables... 
Long Speaker Cables/Short Interconnect or reverse
Thanks, guys, for your input. The thought behind this was to possibly upgrade the speaker cables, and perhaps use a pair of 12foot runs of a cable I already own (JPS, from another incarnation of my system which was in a smaller room), or buy a new... 
New KT150 tubes?
I see that Quicksilver is now offering their V4 and Silver 88 monos with the Kt150's. Anyone heard either of these yet? (Added bonus - the tubes are completely exposed, therefore lowering the amp's "lame-osity" quotient, WolfÂ…). 
Melody Pure Black 101 Line Preamp
Very well thought out and written review, Phil. Since you seem to be familiar with the Melody line, I was wondering if you've had a chance to hear the AN300B integrated amp? It received a couple of very positive reviews, however not much else seem... 
KR Audio VA340 MKII vs Melody AN 845
Anyone experienced the Melody AN300B? It received a couple of positive reviews, one of them over the top. Similar power, but push pull parallel 300B output tubes. 
BEL 1001 MK V PREamp Match?
I used an AI2C with my BEL 1001 (Mark I) for many years and it sounded wonderful. Regardless of the impedance ratio rules I think that they match up well, and I would be cautious about replacing the Audible Illusions...

Neotekman-Any update on your amp? Has Sal returned the BEL to you, and did he repair it? 
Decware - any substance here?
Has anyone heard the new Torii Monos?? Impressions? 
RIP - Richard Brown, BEL
Are you saying he has had possession of your amp for months with no communication? I had contacted him several months ago regarding inspection and possible upgrading of my 1001 and he did respond, saying that he was testing an upgrade using some m... 
Psvane CV181-T in Dehavilland Ultraverve?
My amp is a BEL 1001 (solid state). Do you use the Psvane CV 181-T in an Ultraverve, or some other preamp?? Have you had any experience with the Sophia Electric 6sn7s??Thanks. 
Who here uses Von Gaylord amps or other gear?
How hot do the Nirvanas run? Their website claims a cooler operating temperature for the tubes- do you find the heat from those eight 6550s to be problematic?? 
NYC Axpona Audio Show report
I thought the room featuring the Kudos speakers was one of the best of the (somewhat small) show, although the bass seemed a bit uncontrolled. Detailed, dynamic, and very compelling... 
RIP - Richard Brown, BEL
I would also be interested to hear what Sal has to say. I spoke with him at RMAF regarding possible service on my Mk. I 1001 (it is over 25 years old and may possibly need recapping), and he referred me to Brooks Berden (sp?) in So. Cal.. I emaile... 
Jadis orchestra reference or DA50 for Proac D15?
FWIW, I heard the DA50 Signature driving a larger pair of Proacs (I think it was the 3.8's) at a Stereophile show and it sounded fabulous, not underpowered at all.... 
SS Amp Preference for DeVore Fidelity Silverbacks
Darrin, care to elaborate?? Thanks.....
