Where to find Black Gate 1000uf 25V caps?
Michael Percy sold the NX 1000uF, 25V caps for $12.50, but- they are long gone. Like anything else that is highly desirable, and no longer in production; expect to pay a premium, if you can find them. 
bi amp imrpoving?
Are you referring to passive or active biamping? With active systems(which I've been implemented, at home, since 1980), your amps are only required to process the bandwidth assigned them. This, for instance, relieves the mid/high freq amp of the b... 
Speaker hiss
I'd bet that you are having to turn your volume up to play those sources, and are hearing, "tube rush." Try to find a pair of 12AX7A's that have been tested, and certified, "low noise- preamp grade." 
Kenwood KR-9600: leaking maxi electrolytics
Check the physical size, and lead configuration of your caps, and see if the Cornell 64668s, on this page, will fit(click on, "miscellaneous" at the bottom of the page): (http://www.partsconnexion.com/t/catalog/CapacitorsElectrolytic.html) The sli... 
Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder?
Your semantic gymnastics are what's irrelevant. Like so many; you block out any truth that does not conform to YOUR definition, or understanding of an issue. Further: It's obvious you are VERY CHALLENGED in the comprehension department, or simply ... 
Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder?
Try a little education(though I doubt you're interested), and read the fourth section of this article(relating to harmonics): (http://www.arbiter.com/files/product-attachments/absolute_phase.pdf) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_phase) (http... 
Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder?
The point of trying? If you haven't heard it, or tried it, YOU HAVE NO OPINION. It's amazing how so many, that know so little, find so much to type about. OH- and FYI, "absolute phase" is also a correct term: (http://www.omegamikro.com/Absolute_Ph... 
Who made the tubes?
National bought tubes from many manufacturers. They could be Mullard, Brimar, or Ediswan. Click on, "images" here; (http://www.mullardtubes.com/Mullard-ECC82-12AU7-CV4003/?ID=0&ProductID=153) or, "more detailed photos" here: (http://www.tubeau...

Need Expert Opinions On An Old System
Hard to beat this: (http://www.oppodigital.com/blu-ray-bdp-83/) Hook up the new stuff(amp/sub) before making any other changes. Be certain your speakers and listening position are set up optimally(distances, toe-in, etc). 
Opinions on TacT RCS Room Correction System
I've been using a TacT RCS 2.2Xaaa for the past six years. My present listening room(a result of an expensive divorce) is an acoustic nightmare. My systems have been actively bi-amped(SS on bottom) since 1980, and(until this room) always provided ... 
Is a good soundstage possible with 2 speakers only
That Wiki article was good, and it's obvious by the references and the end, that there have been MANY MORE than just, "the Brain at TacTquot;&(Boz) that have been studying Ambiophonics. Actually it's study, together with other Psychoacoustic p... 
Problems with room acoustics??
You never mentioned a bass problem, which is what corner and ceiling corner treatments would address. My fave(Auralex), Applied across the wall behind your listening position, will resolve your issue(slap echo/excessive upper mids resonance), ie:(... 
Why CD players so expensive when the fomat is dead
I'm trying to remember the last time I purchased a CD at Wal-fart. OH YEAH- NEVER! XRCD, HDCD, Telarc, RHINO, Chesky, MFSL, Blue Note, Analogue Productions, Audioquest, Sheffield Labs, etc? They never heard of them!
