| McCormack Advanced Rectifer Circuitry Zaikesman, the best way to find out is to ask Steve.Call or e-mail him, so you get a written response. This way you can read it over and over again, until curiousity takes over and you send your amp in for this upgrade....lol | |
| McCormack Advanced Rectifer Circuitry Howard,It's hard for me to tell what impact the ARC2 mod had on the performance of my amp, since I had everything done at the same time. I had it scheduled for Gold originally, but while the amp was there I figured I'd do couple more things. I tal... | |
| audience au24 Cable Company(1-800-FAT-WYRE) as suggested will let you borrow any of the interconnects they cary, but at a 5% non-refundable deposit. This deposit is counted towards your future purchase of anything from them. I've used them in the past and had n... | |
| Recommended Redbook Under $5K My opinion is that ARC CD3MkII in your case is a good fit with all the ARC gear you're using. Very good player that plays any type of music very well. Reads CD-Rs without any problems. Run CD3MkII into your LS-25 balanced and you will be very happy. | |
| I need help choosing my next tube preamp. Thanks MrT, thanks Cedar.Jaybo, could you please describe sound of Line-3 in few words? Things like presentation(forward, middle of the hall, laid back?), resolution, bass, mids, you know, all the good stuff. thanks! | |
| What is the best amp for Sonus Faber Cremonas? IMO, the Cremona speakers themselves have a dark character. McIntosh gear has a slightly dark presentation as well and most likely is not a good match with the Cremonas. I've listened to Cremonas with all Krell gear and thought it was a very good ... | |
| I need help choosing my next tube preamp. I talked to Kevin at VAC today and found a dealer in NJ not too far from where I work. I made an appointment there for next week to give Standard MkII a listen.Also, despite the absence of XLR inputs and outputs, I still decided to give CJ a chanc... | |
| I need help choosing my next tube preamp. Fplanner2000, thanks a lot for the info. VD cables are very good. I had their Master digital interconnect when I had a dac. My interconnects are AZ Silver RefII from cd to pre and Matrix RefII from pre to amp. I'll be definitely calling VAC today.... | |
| I need help choosing my next tube preamp. Steveaudio, I use XLR from my cd player ARC CD3MkII into my preamp. I've noticed, and heard from others, that the CD3MkII sounds considerably better through balanced outs. And I prooved it true in my system. It is hard to say though what sounded b... | |
| I need help choosing my next tube preamp. I checked out VAC website. Looks pretty interesting. Phi is going to be off my radar screen due to price. Fplanner2000, when you had Standard preamp, were you using XLR from the preamp to amp or SE? What was your set up from source to pre? Was it ... | |
| I need help choosing my next tube preamp. Jafox...that Callisto preamp looks insane!!!! And I'm sure it is great, but it's out and beyond my price range at $8999. | |
| I need help choosing my next tube preamp. Thanks Boa2. But please keep the suggestions flowing. It's been years since I shopped for a preamp and I'm really unfamiliar with the sound of the latest models. I'm also planning on visiting few NYC hi-end audio stores, just to take a quick liste... | |
| I need help choosing my next tube preamp. I'll add to the list of desired features the XLR inputs and outputs and a remote control. Sorry...missed it in the beginning. | |
| I need help choosing my next tube preamp. I've been offered to demo a Calypso and VK-31 in my own system. I may take advantage of it and check these units out first hand.Jafox, little roll-off at the extreme highs would most likely not hurt me too much with the B&W N803 speakers that ... | |
| I need help choosing my next tube preamp. Stevecham, thanks for the CJ suggestion. |
