ARC 100 Mk11or Conrad Johnson 11a?


I am thinking of purchasing a ARC 100 Mk11 over my existing Conrad Johnson 11a driving Audiostatic DC1s (electrostatics). Has anyone compaired ARC to CJ and what was the difference in sound?

Hi, I own ARC vt130 and have heard ARC100mkII at my house.
My experience with CJ is at dealer showroom.
They certainly sound different, but I don't think it is an "clear" upgrade. simply a sideways move ! ARC was very neutural, CJ was very relaxed and "great" midrange. I thought the VT130se was better than VT100mkII. More bigger, enveloping sound.
hope this helps.
