New KT150 tubes?
Tli...what you suggest requires bravery and utter selflessness well beyond what most would be willing to risk...and a little over 300 bucks.

KT-88 gold lions verses the new tung-sul kt-120
I've been using a quad of 120s daily for over 2 years in my Jolida and they still sound amazing, and better than the newer 88s or 6550s that I sometimes pop in to see if the 120s are losing it. My informal survey of 120s indicates a 99.647% approv... 
SMC McCormack or Vincent Pwr Amp
Is the new Aragon stuff from the guys who used to be Mondial? I had an Acurus A250 that now defunct Mondial fixed a couple of times...I suppose I could look that up...also, I hope Audio Advisor knows people who can work on Vincent stuff in case my... 
Suggestions for a power strip or conditioner?
I use a nice power conditioner I've had for years and can't mention the brand or model name because it's no longer hip and people get all upset with me if I say it works really well. There, wasn't that helpful?

Subwoofer's Front Firing vs. Down Firing
Bo's thoughts on woofer "speed" are based on some odd personally promoted mythology and not on actual sound or even a basic understanding of how speakers work. Otherwise he's right on!

I have a 502p with a beefy power cord of unknown provinance that somebody gave me, and it sounds great...really great, but attaining a "significant" difference from AC cables might be illusive. I've swapped some high end and less so cords in and o... 
Problem with NPR
Here's the "Touch" path: Start with the Mysqueezebox page- Internet Radio-Music-Internet Only-320KB. 
Problem with NPR
There are PILES of 320 kbps stations listed in the Squeezebox hi res finder...very cool. 
what amp under a grand?

A BOPHILE...wow. Bo1972 is an oddly misguided pretentious weirdo who should be ignored, as should Alex, and maybe Chayro since he's a Bophile. I should make a list... 
Not impressed
My system is cobbled together from a few things bought new and lots of used stuff, which is part of the fun. Something seems weak I sell it, things that sound great I keep, and the result is music played at a very high level of resolution and accu...
