I have tried many sets of tubes in the LS15. Currently I have 4 pre Bugle Boy Amprex in, they make a huge difference. As far as the amp, I think I am going to lock-tite the screws in. It had to go on a trip to ARC after an unfortunate tube rolling experience. By the way, ARC customer support and service is first class.
I tried an ARC integrated before my LS15/VT50 combo. Although it had the same sonic signature, the separates had a greater level of dynamics and resolution.
I guess it comes down to these issues:
- Am I loosing a lot if info with 50 foot XLR interconnects.
- Does the Cary "warm" sound equate to loss of detail?
- Am I taking a step down on the sonic ladder by going to an integrated source.
Based upon what has been covered here so far I think a trip to a Cary dealer is in my future.
Thanks
