New KT150 tubes?
Frustrating is right.I will start with I have not heard KT150's yet, and don't own an Audio Research amp...I do have an amp that will work with them however.But I will say this thread with Audio Research probably went way over the top with ARC own... 
Zorin / North American Audio Tonearms - Anybody?
Analog Planet and Michael Fremer just posted a new review of the Zorin audio table... Looks good, good price, and he says it sounds great. http://www.analogplanet.com/content/zorin-audio-tp-s3-turntable-and-pus-12-tone-arm-numbers 
Plinius vs. McCormack
No more edit either on this new audiogon huh?Anyway I realized typing too fast I missed the second "t" in stretch above. 
Why do I like Class AB better than Class A?
True class A in my opinion benefits heavily from true balanced circuitry as well. Single ended is fine, but most amps will perform better all out XLR, even A-B. Class A is a little weaker in wattage 9 times out of 10 and with an extra 6 db of gain... 
Plinius vs. McCormack
Adcom vs. McCormack? HA, wow that is one strech.. There is not a SINGLE Adcom capable of even coming close to a McCormack amp of any line they have put out sorry. But anyway Plinius is a nice amp, but its a bit dry and pricey, I had one vs. a CODA...

I moved my system to the sidewall years ago, HUGE difference... Open up the soundstage, kill a lot of direct vibration, and honestly looks and operates much more ergonomically. The downside, longer cables, but if you go XLR from preamp to amp in t...

GrannyringWell let me point out, "Floating floors" opossed to on concrete may be exactly as you describe. I have only heard wood on concrete vs. carpet probably a necessary point I did not make. Also, keep in mind if you go with real wood floors n...

Room acoustics are at or over 50% of the sound results your system produces. Carpet is okay, but REAL hardwood is better, much better than any other material. Don't use Pergo or that other type of simulated wood floor stuff that is mostly plastic ...

Grannyring,What tube preamp is this and what is the output impedance?This just kills bass if you use a 1500 ohm preamp output with a 10k amp input for sure as an example, I have first hand experience. My first project used a tube preamp like this ...

Grannyring,Oh don't get me wrong I agree the Alexanders are for your application. What I am saying is I am just not generally a big fan at all of Oil based caps in components period. I have had Jensen oils, Mundorf oils etc… In several designs in ...

Well I suggest to all here, don't just rely on one pair of supercaps! Fact is there are many other necessary upgrades to get full potential out of a Duelund or Clarity MR. If you have not pulled out all the generic orange drop stock caps and other...
