Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Right on Chashmal. I'm with you. I drive a 1998 Camry with 125,000 miles on it and still going strong. However, mine is'nt junkie looking (so far). I live in suburban Hartford, CT. 
component problems driving me from the hobby?
Electronic equipment failure truly stresses me out (I work in the medical field). Whenever I run into this situation, either at work or at home, I have to make a concerted effort to FIRST calm myself. Then, I must take an empirical aproach to the ...

Best Powercable for Audio Research 600

Levinson, Pass labs or Parasound?
Hi Brimac. Jason at NuForce does not recommend plugging their amps into power conditioners. I'm delighted to hear that the PS Audio 300 power plant is compatible with them. What else is plugged into the PS Audio PP? 
Exemplar 3910
Styxtrekr. I was in error with the number I gave you. It's an Amperex 7062, not 7602. Sorry. Jeff 
Exemplar 3910
You can get then from Andy at Vintage Tube Services. It's best to contact him by phone (616-454-3467). 
Exemplar 3910
I have an Exemplar 2900 that uses those tubes. I upgraded to the Amperex 7602. Instant WOW factor, but even better after a proper break in. 
deHavilland Mercury II owners
Anybody? 
Are upgraded power cables really worth the money?
Yes they are. 
Power Conditioners
I would recommend Alan Maher's Power Enhancer V. It's a passive unit that works well with any audio equipment. At $275 it's a no brainer. 
Preamp help needed - max $ 2500
I would also recommend the deHavilland Mercury II.
