Audiogon identifier at Stereophile show?
I suggest a blue bandana in a back pocket,just like Al Pacino in that gay undercover flick.

2002 Warner/Rhino-Original Black Sabbath 1970-1978
I bought black box.For some weird reason my ARC CD2 refuses to play all cds from the box.These are the only cds that i cannot play out my 10000+collection.I called Audio Research and they were buffled by it.I play them on my Pentagon CD 70 player.... 
Boy, am I bummed.
When my CAL Alpha started giving me problems,i popped up the cover and tortured it with the pliers,twisting and ripping out parts.Then,with a scream it went down the chute.Audio police never showed up. 
CJ Premier 18 vs CJ PF-R
CJ changed their house sound.The LS18 is more transparent but the soundstage isn't that wide and lush like PF-R. 
Conrad Johnson Premier 350 ss vs Premier 140 tube
As far as i know Premier 350 inhibits that infamous suckout in low/mid-upper/bass that plagues 2500a.Actually,that comes with bipolars.I personally prefer mosfets.I had 2 2500as in biamp configuration but was never happy.If it was my choice,i woul... 
Preamp hum off/on?
I just had the same problem.Unplug everything in your house,even the refrigerator and all alarm clocks.The culprit in my system was my computer monitor and Playstation in standby mode.Those things weren't even turned on! 
Straightwire Maestro vs Maestro II?
I don't know about Maestro but i can tell you there is no difference in Crescendo and Crescendo II wires.Just different serial numbers.

What kind of problems are you having? 
BAT or other Valve pre for PASS X-250
HiI use my Pass X250 with Cary SLP 308.Perfect.All the wiring are Straightwire Crescendo .Speaker cables:Kimber Bifocal Xl.I've found that X series like bright sounding speaker cables.Look for a cable matchup first.Take care. 
Cary SLP 2002 or Joule LA 100 Mk III or?w/PassX250
I paired my Pass X250 with Cary Slp 308 and it is perfect.I got the best result with El.Harmonix tubes instead of Cary's stock GEs.Good luck.
