| Jadis Orchestra Reference + Wilsons Hi Bbro. The JOR has KT90s. I haven't heard it with different tubes, but some other Audiogoners actually prefer the KT88s or even EL34s as they found the midrange sweeter. The midrange with the KT90s is sweet enough for me - it sounds very natural... | |
| Any reliability horror stories out there? Thanks Mikej for the flammable Audio Research story. Perhaps if Hollywood makes a sequel to 'Backdraft', or some other fireman drama, this could be worked into the script - could be a great opportunity for product placement for ARC. I've had less ... | |
| VT-100 MkII matches best with what preamp? HELP Hello. Nice choices. I noticed another person mentioned the ARC SP9MkIII - I've had one for nine years - with a D125 tube hybrid amp (which does sound quite like your VT100MkII - I auditioned this extensively a few years ago, and found the overall... | |
| Krell 400xi ? Arcam FMJ 32? Musical Fidelity A5? Hello. I've auditioned the Krell, but not with my speakers, and a friend owns a recent Musical Fidelity integrated - the latter, for mine, is more musical.

| ARC SP11 vs ARC LS22 ??? I auditioned the LS22 some years ago and thought it dreadful. The ARC SP9MkIII which I still own was far preferable. The Reference products mentioned by others all sounded great to me, but were too dear. I'm sorry I can't comment on the SP11, exce... | |
| Audio Research D125 - help re problem Thanks to all for your responses - I'll pass them on to the local service technician - I live in Sydney, Australia, so I'm afraid sending the unit to ARC is just too expensive. Again, thanks muchly for the advice. Cheers, Rob. | |
| Break in period for tube amp. How long? Hello. Probably one week, most likely two or three...I had the same experience on purchasing a new ARC SP9MkIII pre-amp some years ago - having heard a used MkII with great results, I could not believe how 'awful' the new MkIII sounded straight ou... |
