ARC LS-2 vs LS-22R
I am going to say something here that will piss off some people but IMHO and I think it was also stated in the Stereophile review if I am correct, the LS-22 is a bright sounding preamp. People in the industry who know ARC will tell you that the LS...

Use of Digital Amps: Need serious help
I had the Musician II in my system and while it was one of the cleanest sounding amps I heard, I did not select it for my system. My old Kinergetics just sounded better. Note that there was not that great of a sonic improvement with the comparison...

DAC for Sony SCD 777ES, Levinson, Audio Note?
