Almarro has poping sound, please help
I would highly recommend NOT buying your 6c33c's from ebay.I have also gotten many dead tubes from there.It's a cheap tube, so buy them tested. 
TA-2022 input impedance ?
Thanks Al.I wish I knew more about this stuff.I've went ahead and ordered a Lightspeed attenuator for it.My CD Player is where it should be for that attenuator, but George, the builder of my lightspeed said that the amps impedance should be over 4...

I've had the problem in the past and it was the output tubes. It's time to change the 6c33c's out. 
Fast power cables?

What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam?
Elrod Signature. The 2 for your source and the 3 for your amp. You can get them used for around $500. They were $1650 new.

Peter, no, the friend that was going to be getting the demo speaker was told by JT that he would have to buy the speaker without a 30 day trial. So my friend isn't going to do that. I know these speakers are in limited supply, but I don't blame hi...

Tube amp for Reference 3A - SET or push-pull?
I've heard the Almaro A318B hooked to a pair of the DeCappos and it was very nice. Open soundstage with very full clean bass. But... The Decappos aren't known for Rocking. You might want to look at another speaker for that.
