Hi Waxxy,
Welcome to our little diverse family.
Lovely gear you've there - and being that I own an Audiomat Arpege 10 Reference along with two other tube integrated's, I'm all to aware of what you're hinting at in regards to getting off the bandwagon.
As an avid tweaker sort myself - and one whom also uses Symposium Acoustics Rollerblock Jr's + underneath my WTL GTA and said amps with the Svelte shelf as well - it's nice to see someone else that actually places attention to detail in regards to system resonance control devices.
All, to often it seems to me that most are content spending extremely large amounts of money on their components - yet talk them about Isolation Devices / Platforms from the likes of companies like Shun Mook - Yamamoto Sound Craft - Symposium or those rather odd looking Synergistic Research MIGs and its as if - one is speaking a foreign language or something.
Yet, it's always a pleasure to come across others whom understanding the underlying concept - that each/every component has a resonance point that effects the sound.
Yet, to each his/her own - I love tweaking my system as a means of enhancing it even more so.
Once again - welcome on board and I'll be watching you - so don't slip up.
And we've a lot to talk about in regards to tubes - but we can get to that later.
Be well - and Happy Easter to you and yours from an Ex-Canadian to a still current one.
Regards,

A most gracious welcome..thanks very much.
I'm a tweaker too. I have been ever since I heard the improvement a set of footers (feet?) made to the sound of my old Kenwood turntable. Right now everything is on roller bearings of some type or another. I've got Symposium Roller Blocks under the phono stage, Ingress Audio roller bearings under the TT and speakers, and FIM roller bearings under everything else.
And like you, I do understand why some people don't tweak. Everyone has their own set of priorities.
Now that I know I'm being monitored, I'll try and keep my nose clean.
Thanks again for the warm welcome, and anytime you'd like to discuss tubes, I'm all ears. BTW, which part of Canada, and how long have you been gone?
