| Audio Research Reference 320M is being debuted in Meunchen They renamed it the Ref 330M because it puts out 330 watts. Dave Gordon in his TAS interview at the Munich show said the price will be $90K for a pair. The reviews of it from the show on YouTube are all very positive. | |
| Audio Research in Receivership. It is true. There are two pending ARC legal cases; one is a collection action by the secured bank lender and the other is a state court receivership under which the court appointed receiver is trying to sell the company as a going concern. On Ma... | |
| New Audio Research Owner Actually, there are two pending ARC legal cases; one is a collection action by the secured bank lender and the other is a state court receivership under which the court appointed receiver is trying to sell the company as a going concern. On May 2... | |

| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? I completely agree with the others who heard the 7s at Audio Connection. The ARC CD Player was the Ref-8; the Turntable was a Basis with a Graham Phantom arm. I think John said that the cart. was a Clearaudio Goldfinger. In his talk, Richard said ... | |

| Audio Research Reference 5 Preamp I have a Ref 5 and plan to write a post, perhaps even a review, about it. The reason I haven't yet is time - both my own time and the time required for burn-in. Perhaps by summer . . . | |
| HiFi tuning fuses, some benefits help Laces - how did you clean up your power at the panel?thanks. | |

| Blu-ray multi-channel analog vs. HDMI I'm no digital expert but presumably Oppo is and it appears they agree with you about analog vs HDMI sound. The SE upgrade for their Model 83 is purely to improve sound quality - but it applies only to the analog outputs on the 83. Their website s... | |
| Your Favorite Top 10 tuners all time Sansui TU-919, modified by Antenna Performance Systems, has retired the trophy for me. | |
| Benefit of Tube Dampers/Coolers on 6H30? I've done a lot of tube rolling with my ARC gear and to me 6H30 DR's sound better than the current Russian alternatives. I also prefer ARC's tube rings to Herbie's. |
