| Technician to review my Marantz Monos Recommend you contact Jennifer at Jena Labs. She has performed very effective modifications of Marantz MA9SA2 Mono Amps.Best of luck in your quest. | |
| What amplifiers should I have for Dyn Temptation. I previously owned a pair of Dynaudio Temptations. Absolutely wonderful speakers. I found synergy with Lamm Ref 1.2 amps and an Audio Research Ref 3 preamp. Even though the Lamm amps are rated at 100 wpc, they easily drove and controlled the Tempt... | |
| anyone mated AR 100.2 w/ LS-12? I cannot answer your question directly. But this may assist you as a frame of reference. I have a second system which includes an ARC 100.2 mated with an ARC LS-17 with Dynaudio Focus 140 speakers, Lessloss power cords and Analysis Plus Solo Oval ... | |
| verdict on class D amps? Gnpgnp,I have a pair of PSB Stratus Gold i's in my second system. I believe they are a classic. I recently added a new power amp and preamp for that system. I am using the Audio Research LS 17 tubed preamp and Audio Research 100.2 amp. My speaker ... | |
| which non ARC poweramp do you use with ARC REF 3 I have found excellent synergy for my Audio Research Ref 3 with the Lamm M 1.2 Ref monoblock amplifiers. I recommend that you refer to a series of product reviews by Marc Michelson at soundstage.com.I have tried Audio Research tube and hybrid amps... | |
| Amp rec for AR REF3/CD7, & SF Auditor M's/REL B2 I recommend that you audition Lamm M 1.2 Reference hybrid monoblocks. I have the AR Ref 3/CD 7 combo and the Lamm has a wonderful synergy with them. My speakers are Dynaudio Temptations. YMMV. Best of luck in your search. | |
| Cardas vs. Synergistic Research Spaz,I have not compared the SR T1 against the SR T2, and I have no other basis to offer a comment. Fplanner2000 offers a plausible analysis. Once again, best of luck in your search. | |
| Cardas vs. Synergistic Research I have tried the Cardas GR and SR T2 on a digital source and processor in my second system. The SR T2 was sweeter on the top end, provided much more clarity, was faster and had a slightly quieter background. YMMV. Good luck in your search. | |
| ARC Ref 3 Power Cord Zargon,Best of luck in your auditions. One thing I have learned over the past 30+ years in this hobby/addiction---there are NO absolutes---everything affects everything!! | |
| ARC Ref 3 Power Cord Zargon,I will attempt to answer your question.I have eight dedicated 20 amp circuits in my main listening room. These are run from an isolated subpanel. My Ref3 is connected to its own dedicated 20 amp circuit. After running the Ref3 for about 650... | |
| iTunes Apple Lossless Setting Mystery Neal,I am not sure what computer you are using or which version of itunes you are working with. To find out whether your song is originally downloaded in apple lossless format, go to itunes, select one of your songs, go to the itunes toolbar, clic... | |
| ARC Ref 3 Power Cord I use the Purist 20th Anniversary Contego Power Cord. I have compared it against the Stealth Dream, the Shunyata Anaconda Alpha Helix and the stock AR cord. My amps are the Lamm Ref 1.2 monoblocks. In my system, the Purist is a slight flavor impro... | |
| Interconnects between Bryston BCD-1 and B60R In that price range, I strongly recommend Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval interconnects. I refer you to the review of those cables on Soundstage.com. These cables outperformed Cardas Golden Reference and Audience AU 24e in my system. Best of luck ... | |
| AR CD3, CD5, or CD7? As Eee3 stated, it all depends on your budget. I now use the CD7 and previously owned the CD3mkII. To me, and speaking only for its use in my system, there is a noticeable improvement across the board. Better tonality, clarity, rhythm, pace, dynam... | |
| Dynaudio Audience 72SE I do not own the C1s but have heard them on two completely different systems: one tube-based and one solid-state. The C1s are another incremental step-up from the 140s. If you like the 140s, you are going to be extremely happy with the C1s.One not... |
