| Best amplifier for $1000 You can pick up a used ARC VT-60 in Audiogon for under thatand the sound quality is remarkable with nice natural bassand a wonderful magical midband reproduction if u like the sound of tubes.I own the ARC and would never let it go.The ARC puts out... | |
| Is this ludicrous or not? I have not read the review ,but I have this stuff thats claimed to be better then the Walker,and YES IT REALLY DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE.Its called Xtreme Quick Silver Audio &Video Contact Enhancer,and no I don't sell the stuff.I applied it to al... | |
| Can we list the better labels? Chesky? Telarc? Don't forget Opus 3 | |
| My VPI MK3 skips if I walk near it.Should this be? Thanks for the advice I might give the sorbothane pucks a try.The table came with brass tiptoes that sit on top of flat brass inserts.Come to think about it tiptoes tend tonot absorb energy very well,but transmit it very effeciently.Sorbothane wou... | |
| upgrade ARC SP-8 I would sell the SP-8 and get a used SP-16and buy the phono stage for an extra $400.00 .Don't get me wrong the SP-8 is great I use to own one,but its getting up their in age and to many things may go wrong with it. | |
| What makes one good amp sound better than another? As stated from previos posts YOU MUST GIVE TUBE AMPS A TRY.The Matin Logans will come to life with a ARC VT-60 if hooked up correctly or a ARC VT-100.Good Luck | |
| Sonic frontiers sfs 80 or 160 I have the Quest Z and am happy with using my ARC VT-60as long as it is biwired and you use all the 4 ohm tap of the ARC VT-60 your fine,but if you try driving them any other way they simply run out of gas and won't pump out hardly any bass at all. | |
| tube amp dilemma with electrostats I originally drove Martin Logan CLS's with Dynaco Mk3'swhich were 60 watt mono amps.That combination was simply magical,until my Dynaco's bit the farm that is.But frommy experience you can get very close to the sound you liked with the ARC Classic... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Mc1 Hafler 101 Music Concept moded.Outstanding value for the money.Also RAM Labs Moving Coil Head Amp which I use to own .I wish I still had it.Rodger Modjeski's RM-3 I beleivewas the name of it. | |
| scoutmaster/scout vs mark iv I have a VPI MK3 and am thinking of moving up to and Aries platter so I can use the outer ring clamp.Just a thoughtworth invesigating.Also the SDS would help I suppose.I suppose it depends upon the rest of your equipment,if it justifies spending t... | |
| Can the AR VT100 adequately drive the sophia I have the Martin Logan Quest Z's driving the smallerARC VT-60 it is biwired per Lenords instructionsfrom ARC utilizing the full tap from the 4 ohm transformerof the amp.This speaker can dip down from 2 to 3 ohmsand I have no problems thus far. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Martin Logan Grand Slamm.I heard when they first came out at a Stereophile Show. I think at the time they cost $70,000.00 a pair.They had a pair of these huge woofer towers with 6 12 inch drivers as well.Amazing transparency,speed and slamm. |
