We used clap hands real loud near the head just as a tech was making a tentative connection, or powering something up.

Good post. It's always important to ask.  
What actually determines volume power? Is it watts?
Unless your speakers are up to the job, they may not get much louder no matter how much power you use.

What has been a favourite moment in Audio?
Watching 2 new in box GEC Gold Lion KT88s red plate and flash and die in a Michaelson & Austin TVA-1. $1000 gone in a few seconds.

Can’t really go wrong with a well-fettled LP12. $2400? Take it. It will need a decent support (table/rack) to give its best.

Changing the 6550 power tube in a Audio Research Ref 6SE Preamp
You can try other 6550 tubes. There are other threads here on the subject. Just don’t tell ARC, especially if something goes wrong.

Nagaoka +1. Are you still running 5751 tubes in your amps? I love these tubes but they can be a little "etched." Your amps also spec 12AX7s. You might try putting them back in and reassessing the SQ.
