| B&W 805D stands? Experience? Hi Dave_b,RE: B&W PM1I auditioned them prior to buying the 805D's and also found them to be a wonderful speaker. Though I think they will generally excel in smaller listening spaces and will need fairly high power/current amplification upstrea... | |
| B&W 805D stands? Experience? Thank you all for the feedback. I've removed the Blutack and replaced it with the supplied B&W rubber nubs. I also moved the speakers back on the stands about 2.5" so the center of the speaker is more centered on the stand. Surprisingly, it ma... | |
| B&W 805D stands? Experience? Anyone tried the rubberized nubs that B&W provide with the new 805d's to couple them to a stand? As stated above, I am currently using Blutack, but have not tried the provided "nubs". Maybe they would be a good option to try before I try a dif... | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS17SE? That was definitely a better explanation than I provided. Thank you for that. For clarity, the SE update to the Ref 2 and Ref 5 also include power supply upgrades and the cost is $2,500. The SE update to the LS17 only includes the new Teflon coupl... | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS17SE? Hello Lougiants,Truthfully, I am not certain how to describe it. Richer would likely make sense, though in my experience, richer can be misconstrued to mean colored or having more bloom. It doesn't sound tubier and richer in the typical sense. The... | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS17SE? I plan to update this thread as time goes on. My LS17SE has about 40 total hours of run in time since the SE upgrade was performed, and approx 250 total hours of run in on the unit as a whole. I am certainly not talented with words, so take this f... | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS17SE? Hi Lou,This is very preliminary of course, as mine has maybe 5 total hours on the new caps. For lack of a better term, the sound is more fluid and "continuous" to my ears. I have not had enough time with different types of music yet, but with clas... | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS17SE? Hi Rgd,According to my coversations with ARC, they are only offering the SE upgrades to the LS17 linestage, the Ref 2 phonostage and the Ref 5 linestage only. The retail pricing will remain at $3995 for the LS17SE and the others have increased to ... | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS17SE? Hi Lougiants,Sorry, I should have been more clear. The only reason I was considering an upgrade was to do justice to my recently purchased new ARC Ref 110 with KT-120's. I was not unhappy with the LS17 or its performance. I compared the LS17SE to ... | |
| Power cable upgrade for ARC Thank you for all the feedback. After speaking with ARC, I have opted to upgrade the power cable first on my Ref 110 power amp. I bought an RGPC High Tension Wire and am enjoying it - only difference I find is that the sound is overall, moderately... | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS17SE? My unit is in for upgrade currently with ARC and should be complete on Monday. I will post photos and my preliminary thoughts/review once it returns. The cost is $795 and externally includes a new updated faceplate (says LS17SE of course) and incl... | |
| How to break in a tube preamp? Thank you everyone for your input. Much appreciated.I am looking forward to hearing the post burn in period. By all accounts the teflon caps are wonderful once they have considerable time on the clock. | |
| How to break in a tube preamp? While I appreciate what you are saying, I was wondering electrically if this would help the break in process or be a waste of time without the signal running through the amp as well. I don't plan to leave it run for 600 hours, but I would like to ... | |
| Simaudio Moon 310LP I had actually used your review to assist in my purchase decision.My dealer was kind enough to loan me the lp5.3 for a couple of weeks while the 310lp was on order. According to Simaudio, only a couple of capacitors in the power supply portion hav... | |
| Ref 110 and LS17 interconnects Hi Gcdm01,Thanks, I was actually hoping for that response. I have been very pleased with them, but my budget now allows for an upgrade (if necessary). I have tried quite a few cables in the past from MIT, Nordost, Audioquest, and Transparent, thou... |
