Good Tube Integrated w/ Quatros
Pmotz,Thanks for the info, forgot all about the high pass filter. Well I can tweak my pre to get similiar results. 
Any Herron M1A amp early impressions out there?
Really, I will have to contact Keith to get the skinny on this. I really love the sound of M1's and VTSP3A... 
Herron VTSP3 pre-amp with what stereo poweramp
I don't remember the name but they are made with rubber and cork. Planning on replacing all footing with Herbies.

The Heron M1's are wonderful amps and is what I'm using on my Avalons along with the VTSP 3A. The M1's stacked will still have a smaller footprint than a traditional stereo amp but don't let the size fool you. 
Sony SCD XA5400ES tube rolling?
Me too! 
Ayre AX-7e vs. Belles Reference 150A
I have owned both the 150A/350A Ref amplifiers and the Belles Integrated was noticeably better in detail, slam, imaging and overall sound quality.

Many companies are using 1st order crossovers but are the speakers timed aligned?

Jwm,Myaudiocables.com is the site and they build custom umbilical cords. I have the pure copper version but will upgrade later to the liquid magic ref cable. lookup Audioman58, he knows alot about these cables.

I also forgot to mention that the Mac custom copper umbilical cord sounded more refined with better placement of images and draws you further into the recording. The Truth cable was not as accurate and adds bloom to the sound, which I didn't like.

The NOS Sylvanias Chrome Domes are mucher better in my system than the Sophias, better seperation, sharper image, deeper/wider soundstage and more ambiance at a much lower price.

May consider adding a good quality sub and some good quality NOS tube in my pre, that should really free up my speakers.

The Wilson-Benesch Curves are very nice but doesn't have a true midrange driver but very nice. The 3A are nice also.
