Melos vs ARC

Melos had better soundstaging and was warmer (also typically more musical to my ears) - but you are going back quite a bit in my memory. A friend of mine has one and insists that it is easy and well-worth considering to upgrade a few key internal components (including some internal wiring for better channel separation). Perhaps worth considering!

I personally would check out the little air tight line stage which has exceptional sounstaging...

hope that helps,

Melos stage is wall to wall..With some upgrade of parts. Caps, wire, volume controls, bypass of some unused swiching.Quite the stager..Tom

Hey thanks for the advice. After giving it some thought I do remember listening to a LS-22. It was a bit cool sounding as far as tube go.
