Mods for ARC preamp / amp
In my humble opinion, replace the original ARC tubes by NOS tubes. Most remarkable improvement is the repalcement of the 6550 by a Tungsol Blackplate 6550. See discussion on audiogon 
Audio Research Ref 5 preamp
Hi Guys,Very interesting discussion. I assume the comparisons made till now are based on the original ARC tube configuration. I know that exchange of the ARC tubes by NOS tubes has also a remarkable impact. Has anybody had a chance to compare REF5...

Hi Elberoth,You were spot on. Problem was related with the combination of ARC socket and pins of 1957 6550. Issue is now solved.Cheers Broederen.

ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply?
Dear all,I encountered an issue. After replacing the Svetlana with a Tung-sol 6550 Black Plate I experienced sometimes a moment without sound. After some time the sound came back (black-out?). Now my REF3 is dead. I replaced the Tung-sol with the ... 
ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply?
Thanks GuidocoronaI have replaced the Svetlana 6550 with a 1957 Tung Sol. I'm surprised by the difference in sound. I'm not so good in describing but its seems tighter bass, increased resolution and more "punch". And the system is now playing only...

Hum in ARC Ref 3 not on 0 but 1-103 light buzz
The Kronzila SX-XLR has arrived. I installed it and......... dead, dead quiet in combination with the ARC REF3 (even with max volume of ARC REF3). Of course the SX still has to settle itself (according to KR audio it will take around 30 hrs). Til ... 
Hum in ARC Ref 3 not on 0 but 1-103 light buzz
I've got some new developments. After performing several tests it was better to change to a Kronzilla SX with XLR input. KR Audio was very professional and supportive in this move. I'm very happy with it. I expect the SX to arrive end April 2008. ... 
Hum in ARC Ref 3 not on 0 but 1-103 light buzz
We have come one step closer to the solution. The buzz looks like a mismatch between an high ohm pre-amp (like the ARC) and the impendance of the Kronzilla SXi. We found out by using a Kronzilla DM (monoblock) on the right channel and the SXi on t...
