Accuphase C-202 or YS Audio A2-SE
I can't comment on the Accuphase but I have owned an Audio Experience (YS Audio) A2 SE for over a year now and can't praise it highly enough. Although I have owned prettier and heavier preamps in the past costing up to four times the retail of the... 
Any experience with Yeil "Spike Sound Will" feet?
Well I did it...I ordered a 20-40kg set, which arrived last week for my power amp (SAC Glowmaster KT88) but they didn't impress me greatly over the stock rubber feet. I'm sure there was probably a slight improvement but if it was there it was real... 
Tube rolling and SAC Glowmaster KT88?
I have put a few hours on the "C"s now and I'd have to agree with you Hiker, they have made a great amp even better. Better right across the frequency range and a soundstage you could almost step into. Thanks for your advice, it was much appreciated. 
Any experience with Yeil "Spike Sound Will" feet?
Well Garebear we're still waiting to hear from someone who has used them but I can tell you that they retail for £140 ($200) for a set of four. When I first became aware of these products there were 4 models being offered. They are for components ... 
Tube rolling and SAC Glowmaster KT88?
I received my Winged Cs yesterday and plugged them in only to find that despite ordering a matched quad, one was severely off and I was unable to bias it whilst another was just alarmingly off, two were spot on. I suppose I would never have known ... 
Any experience with Yeil "Spike Sound Will" feet?
The Yeil products are also marketed as LSU No Spikes if that helps broaden the net...

Thanks Mechans for that lengthy missive on isolation. 
Tube rolling and SAC Glowmaster KT88?
Well Hiker, I have taken the plunge and ordered a matched quad of winged Cs so thanks for the benefit of your experience. I'll report back in due course and let you know how they behaved in my particular set up. If anyone else has contributions to... 
Tube rolling and SAC Glowmaster KT88?
Thanks for taking the time Hiker to post your thoughts. I was really led to the Glowmaster by a desire to try valves after 10 years or so of solid state. I picked up an Art Audio Concerto power amp earlier in the year to experiment and whilst it w... 
Has anyone heard the YS-Audio A2 "SE"?
I haven't compared it to the ARC gear but I have been living with my A2 SE for around three months now since it ousted my Rogue Audio 99 Magnum from my system. It really is a great little pre and responds to tube rolling, although the performance ... 
Audio Experience A2E
In an attempt to 'makeover' the amp I have just replaced the knobs with some nice examples from THL Audio. IMO they are a great improvement over the stock aluminium ones and improve its 'rack presence' no end. 
Audio Experience A2E
I forgot to mention that I usually switch it on around 20 minutes or so before I sit down to listen but that is as much for the power amp (Gamut D200) as the pre. I don't leave them powered up all the time and I have found the solid state Gamut ne... 
Audio Experience A2E
My A2 SE was about a year old when I acquired it so both it and the stock valves were already well run in by the time I got my hands on it. The previous owner told me he hadn't changed the valves and they were still performing nicely so that's abo... 
Audio Experience A2E
I recently picked up a 'pre loved' Audio Experience A2 SE and think it is a remarkable product for very little cash. My previous tubed preamp was single ended only so for a small outlay I thought I'd insert the A2 SE in my system and make use of t...
