Yet another contender for my Klyne 6PE: ARC PH5
thenks Zd542: my fault, I sure used a wrong word, sorry (English is not my mother tongue). :) 
Hum question
@Stringreen: would you please tell me more about this procedure ? I mean: would you please explain it with different words ? I'm italian and English is not my mother tongue so I must admit I didn't understand what you suggest, but I'm very interes... 
Yet another contender for my Klyne 6PE: ARC PH5
Moreover: I don't have both, I have the Klyne and have the chance of buying a preowned ARC PH5.I would not ask for comments otherwise. 
Yet another contender for my Klyne 6PE: ARC PH5
A headamp ? What do you mean ?I know by experience that 57-58 db is almost right for the Deloa.I beg your pardon but I can't get your point (my fault). 
CAV-50 and 804 Diamonds
I second Jimmy2615, as I own 804s (not D) with ARC LS25 + 100.2: a very good match.just one among many others, OK, but I think a good SS power amp, with a tube preamp if you like tubes, may be what to look for.(nevertheless I must confess that I'm... 
Hum question
are you sure hum is minimal while record playing ? or is it just covered by music and mixed to it ?if you have a hum, you won't really hear what you could hear.I've been struggling with hum for a long time (it's a long story): war is not over yet ... 
Amp for Sonus Faber Cremona M's
I've heard the Cremonas (not M, actually) with a Spectral combo and it was a good match; I heard the same pair (a friend of mine is the owner) with CJ's but I preferred Spectral: more "life" without losing "finesse" nor getting harsh at all. It wa... 
Spectral DMC10-12 phono stage gain
thanks, John, useful as usual :)ciaodaniele 
ARC LS15: did they ever use Mundorf MCaps on it ?
Thanks for your wishes, but meanwhile several people tell me that even the LS16 would not be that great improvement over my LS7 and suggest me to go straight for a 22 or a 25 without caring for the... numbers in between (14,15, 16, maybe even 17).... 
ARC LS15: did they ever use Mundorf MCaps on it ?
No, unfortunately it was not modded by GNSC: that would have been a different matter, indeed.I know people, even here in Italy, who are very able at modifying electronics and I would trust them; Huntley is world famous and he would sure be one of ... 
ARC LS7 vs LS16/I
so you're saying that a 6H30 based preamp would be preferable under this respect, as far as I don't have a 15-20db gain in the line stage ? did I get it right ? 
ARC LS15: did they ever use Mundorf MCaps on it ?
anyway, in the end I decided to let the LS15 go... now I saw a pair of LS16 (one mkI and one mkII); see related thread :-Dbut most people tell me that neither an LS15 nor an LS16 (regardless of mk) would be a significant upgrade for me.most people... 
ARC LS15: did they ever use Mundorf MCaps on it ?
yes, but for me not before listening to the stock one (that's a personal opinion, obviously); and then again, I would neet to be sure about who and how worked on the preamp.moreover, as I already said, if a seller lies on one self evident fact, he... 
ARC LS15: did they ever use Mundorf MCaps on it ?
Johnsonwu,the key words are "as long as it's done right".I cannot check in any way if it's done right at some thounsands km from the seller; and if the seller says he did not modifiy anything and I just 'caught' him, he may lie on many other thing... 
ARC LS15: did they ever use Mundorf MCaps on it ?
so, the answer is: no, ARC never used Mundorfs on LS15, as I thought.I am in Europe, and as some said I'd better buy an LS25 or some Ref than send the LS15 to USA and back, paying ARC's intervention in the middle... ;)
