| ARC or other Pre? ^^ ARC has an internal policy of a new product announcement every 90 days. It might be an amplifier, DAC, preamp- whatever. | |
| Just a bit to bright You might consider something with tubes. Transistors often tend to have a coloration of brightness, which has nothing to do with bandwidth. | |
| empire 980 arm mistracks with various cartridges The sound isn't worth it either. | |
| empire 980 arm mistracks with various cartridges Suspensions tend to perish over time so they can look fine but not sound right. | |
| Frequencies addresses by power cords? Ptss, AC power cords have to have some bandwidth because quite often a lot of the power is delivered at the peaks of the AC waveform, in the form of a spike that is actually a much higher frequency than the AC waveform itself. | |
| empire 980 arm mistracks with various cartridges A Grado might suit nicely. I can't imagine the suspension of the cantilever is any good after so many decades. | |
| Is it speakers or my rock/metal music? Plus help ? Gentlemen!Loudspeakers do not care what you put through them and neither do the electronics.

| JBL L100s - Power? I always have used tubes with the L-100. Played them fine, 60 watts is plenty of power. | |

| Audio Research pre-amps? If local is an issue, there are other manufacturers of tube preamps in your town. | |
| Cary SLP98P not working with Audio Research VT100 There's a power conditioner??OK- here is what I suspect is going on. If you move the amp to run directly off of the wall I suspect that may cure it. My theory is that the Cary has a fairly low cutoff frequency and is not particularly stable at tha... | |
| Cary SLP98P not working with Audio Research VT100 If the preamp works with the Parasound, you just ruled out the preamp as the problem. Sounds like something is up with the ARC. | |
| Why not horns? I remember once Harry Pearson (back in the 80s) commenting that horns weren't 'high end'. That sure has changed- no way he would say that now. |
