I look forward to hearing your system for the third time.
Truly, about the best and most effortless I have heard in 50 years.
The effortlessness is clearly its forte. Easy to just listen and enjoy.
I have heard systems 2 or 3 times the price that were incredibly detailed and lovely but lacked that ease and were trying.
Believe it is true that your space and set up are, perhaps, your most significant “component”. Although, I think your all ARC front end and amp characterizes the essence of easily digestible SQ. Combined with your beautiful SF speakers.
Over almost 50 years, ARC has advanced the art of tube technology to a place of musicality and reality unique in this industry.
Hearing your system and following advise of others, I bought an ARC Ref 80S amp to run my Quad 57s. While not achieving your level of sound, I did hear drama on vocals I have not heard from any other amp. I am still thinking of going all ARC.
Now I continue trying different amps to push my Quads, I will never forget the sound I got with the Ref 80S and, especially, your system.
