| Van Alstine or Bryston for me? I used to work in a shop that sold Bryston, it's really nice but, I own Van Alstine, Insight EC+ preamp and OmegaStarEX 440HC poweramp. I prefer that to the Bryston. | |
| Re Tubing Audio Research VT200 Hi Dbarger, What did the trace reapir cost, how long ago did you have it done. ARC wants almost $1800 for new tubes. | |

| Re Tubing Audio Research VT200 Thanks for your suggestion. I assume you never had any problems with the Tung Sol tubes in your VT100 MKII. I will keep your suggestion in mind, Thanks Dave | |
| Re Tubing Audio Research VT200 Hi Paul,I see your disclaimer- what NOS 6922's do you have? I put Amperex Large Logo Bugle Boy's in my PH3SE and they just blew away the stock Sovtek. I was not real excited about it until I made that change. Of course ARC has to deal with what is... | |

| Linn Ittok IV II - The Best Cartridge Match ? Hi NSmith7,It's been a couple of years since this tread started. What cartridge did you end up with? Do you like it?

| LS3/5A owners - what sub do you use with them I use a pair Satterberg MW-2's. They are very rare, seldom seen. Prices are usually low because not many people are familiar with them. They were designed in the early 80's specifically for 15 ohm LS3/5a's. They have an internal crossover that pas... | |
| ARC VS115 I just saw your request, I may be to late to give you any help. I use a VT200 to drive my Maggie 3.6's and love it. Absolutely no problems. I have used 3 other amps 2 SS and 1 tube and the VT200 is noticably smoother, with a larger more layered im... | |
| Tube amp for Magnepan 3.5 with autoformers. I drive my 3.6's with an Audio Research VT200 (200 w/ch) tube amp with the autoformers so the amp sees an 8 ohm load. I like how it sounds, the autoformers took a while to break in but are well worth it. When I use my D400 MKII I do not use the au... | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money The Dynaco Stereo 70 has to be the best component ever, for the money. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I have had many different pairs of speakers since 1968. My current main room system has Magenpan 3.6's, they sound wonderful. But... Speakers to hang on for life??? I'll keep my Rogers LS3/5a's! Enjoy | |
| balanced/xlr vs. unbalanced/ single ended Audio Research LS25 MKII preamp to Audio Research VT200 or D400 MKII power amps sounds significantly/dramaticly better connected with balanced/xlr cables vs. unbalanced/RCA. | |
