| Rogue vs ARC The REF110 better be better as it cost twice as much.I don't think ARC has a current offering that would be a good head to head challenge, imo.It might be more interesting to compare the Rogue M150 monos with the QuickSilver V4 monos with VTL's ST... | |
| Rogue vs ARC I noticed the Rogue M150s has a dampening factor closer to solid state levels, whereas the ARC tube amps spec much lower. Is that why some say Rogue has more of a modern tube sound? I did have the ARC VT100 an really like it and would recommend it... | |
| Single box tube linestage preamp - $3,000 used I do know a dealer for AudioValve, so getting one is easy. Maybe I could talk him out of a floor sample. I would like the hear from any owners on their thoughs and what amps they have used with good effect.Does the Eklipsa have balanced outs or is... | |
| Krell Power Consumption 300 WATTS at standby - is that the same as 3- 100W light bulbs being left on? Can't see where that would cost too much? | |
| Audio Research SP-8 or Quicksilver Full Function ? Great question. I am learning the market for a great all around tube preamp. NO transistors anywhere. I have been thinking about getting the Quicksilver Line Stage because it does not cost too much for a new one, but then I wonder if it will sound... | |
| Tube pre amp comparison ARC to VTL No offense, but I think your amp and preamp are way ahead of your speakers.( If you still have the MLs). I know it is hard to get around to hear and try out too many speakers, but with the quality of ARC products, it is a must. The VT100 can power... | |
| ARC Ref-300 or 600 or 210: Which sounds best ? Well, if the VS115 sounds as good or better than the VT100, then it is all I would need to be 100% happy. Then I could just worry about speakers and digital players . :) | |
| ARC Ref-300 or 600 or 210: Which sounds best ? I wish I had the Ref 110. I hope I get enough money to buy one before they end production. But then I need to get a balanced preamp too.... | |
| Anyone heard the Krell KCT Preamp? That's the problem when one has tons of money and can bounce from one most expensive system to another most expensive system - you are never forced to really learn (like how to test a tube) more than names of mega priced gear. That may be exactly ... | |
| CJ sounding preamp with balanced outputs? When is CJ going to get with it and put some XLRs on things? I've been waiting for 2 decades. Do they have a reason for not doing so? Have any of you more influnentual types spoke to them about this? | |
| Would you pay to listen? I would. It would be great to hear a kilobuck system properly set up at its best. Of course, it probably wouldn't sound that good, because I have preconcieved notions (hey, isn't that what it is all about)? I doubt a 100K stereo could sound that m... | |
| End to All Power Problems Does it produce AC or DC? Will we need to convert all our gear to use DC? If DC, then an inverter will be needed- how noisy are those things? I bet they are super bad? I guess you could have a dedicated fuel cell for the HE stereo and keep everyth... | |
| Is speaker accuracy important for a rock speaker? On the right high end system rock will rock!My Mirage M3sis with 100 watt tube ARC VT100 do the best job on rock that I have heard. If you want to capture a Les Paul played through a Marshall, then this system does it. Allot of rock I listen to is... | |
| Which attributes do you value most? What is PRAT? That is one term new to me.Other than that, I listen to how well it does everything. I don't have a favorite thing. The system should strive to be ALL THERE. | |
