ideal tube for VTL mono 100 amp. monoblock
The 12AU7 always is the culprit!Try using the Amperex 7316 which is WAY more extended in the highs,or maybe a Syl. 5814,or a Tele 802S(expensive).In some applications an E80CC may be used(draws more filament current,but sounds better).The differen...

20 tube watts should be fine. 
studio equipment that makes it into home hifi
Various Revox machines,TASCAM DVRA1000,EMT turntables,Denon DL-103 and DL-102 cartridges. 
Pyramid T9 Ribbon Speakers
I have a pair.They are great.Get yourself 10 spare ribbons from Sequerra.Their power limit is 25 watts. 
Audio Research SP8 MK II Sounds
I had an SP8 for almost 20 years.The choice of tubes is important.It is a glorified Dynaco PAS III,actually,and it will never sound transparent.Try Mullards for the 12AX7s,and Siemens E83CCs for the 6922s.I tried many many different tubes-and thos... 
How do you negotiate a cure for wrong audio view
Tobias,I first heard this approach about 20 years ago from a physicist/inventor who performed an interesting mod to my Thorens TD-124,and from whom I bought a pair of QUAD ESL57s.He said that if there was one thing that our brains could not synthe... 
How do you negotiate a cure for wrong audio view
Hi Chashmal,Take a look at the Anstendig Institute website.Interesting stuff.I am a classical musician.My interest in stereo was initially to listen to recordings of my concerts.Then,20 years ago,I lost the ability to play,and because I do not go ... 
SME series III
Try 1.4 grams.I have an SME III with the Grace F9E.A different cartridge?That's easy-A Shure V15 type 5. 
Which input phono or other?
Your Project should be connected to one of the line level inputs.It already takes care of bringing the signal from the cartridge to proper line level plus RIAA EQ.Connecting to the phono input could damage your amp and speakers if you inadvertantl... 
Help. My system is shouting at me
Avoiding shouting is a question of balancing components.It should be relatively simple to solve the problem with the right interconnects and or speaker cable.What you need is warm sounding cables.Good Luck. 
What is the best speaker cable for Martin Logan SL
Best that I have found so far for my ML CLSIIAs are AZ Satori.Have used MIT 750,DNM Reson,AP Oval 9,Audio Magic Sorcerer,XLO Ref5A series 2,amongst others.The Satoris have the best resololution,crispest highs,fastest response,sound rather natural.... 
Is the moscode 600 a great amplifier?
I have had mine for almost 20 years.It is very reliable,a good match with current hungry speakers.It sounds much much better when used with Speltz Zero autoformers.Sound is mediocre minus-but warm with mosfet mist. 
Is a Quad 44/ 405-2 amp tube sounding?
Nothing could be less tube sounding.RaananP.S. I have had a few 405-2s and many many tube amps. 
Martin Logan's - work in a small room nearfield ?
TRy SL3s.I have a pair in a similar sized room.Great!! 
Mono Cart
Get a Denon DL-102,or an Ortofon SPU for better/best results.From eperience.Enjoy,Raanan
