Replacing Electrostatic Panels - Costly/Difficult?
Agree with Duke..I purchased rebuilt Quad 63 USA's from Kent at Electrostatic Solutions 2 years ago and was very pleased. He uses the best materials and techniques for perfect rebuilds of the panels and power supply EHT boards, spark arrestor and ... 
EL 34s for Cayin A 50T Integrated Amp
I second the SED =C= that Olimpico mentioned. Well balanced, "real" sounding, textured tube, with very good dynamics. 
cables are they worth it?
I second the SuperQ..Great cables with the dynamics and smooth natural balance presentation JPS Labs are noted for. Priced right too. 
Power Cable with a "soft" top end
Purist Musaeus. 
How much money on speaker cable?
_IMHO_I second the JPS Labs cables. I was content to spend much less on cabling vs components, but, having heard excellent cables such as the JPS, changed my perspective. My cables are considerably more expensive than some of my components, but we... 
Latest Steve Winwood - Excellent
The new Cold Play is awesome on Vinyl LP! $15.00 off Amazon. 
Has anyone tried the new JPS Superconductor 3 ?
Kenk 168,I recently put in one pair of the 3 IC's to replace another cable. Shockingly good stuff! I agree with your comments ..Superb balance and dynamics..Vocals are real sounding and focus is excellent..A BIG upgrade from what I was using and w... 
VTL TL2.5---factory installed tubes?
Will,Ive been down this road with the 2.5. The choice of 12AU7's will definitely be a "preference" sound. I settled on the Telefunken Smooth Plate after trying many such as the Mullard,RCA Clear Top and Black Plate 5814A to name a few. To me the T... 
Poiema shielded?

Usher CP-63XX owners, have you added Lead Shot?
I had both the 6371 and 81's. Its important to break them in for a time before using shot or sand in them. Give them a good 300 hrs and afterwards I used steel shot in the cavities. Start with 10 lbs in each speaker. You can add in 2 lb increments... 
Usher owners who chose 6 series over be series?
The 6371 is a great speaker, and if you have the room to support them..the 6381/91. I owned both the 71 and 81. Both excellent sounding over the long haul. The 71 better fit my room size. The 6311 while very good, cant quite provide the grunt and ... 
KT88 Opinions
Agree with above..Doug's tubes. The Shuguang Kt-88 solid plate( not plate with holes) is very good as are the JJ's..different, but good.. Both better the Sovtek, EH, and Svetlana tubes. I prefer the SED Winged =C= myself.
