| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not Kurt/Taters...i have checked with Leonard at ARC and he said the use of tubes (non-ARC supplied) will not void the warranty (assuming that Taters unit is still under warranty) which it is probably not since the VT-100mkIII was discontinued in 2006... | |
| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not Taters...i think you end up paying 2x what you can pay from a decent tube supplier if you purchase from ARC. What amp do you need to retube? | |

| new digital source Jibbonacci...I agree with Tpreaves however a better source can deliver on the sonic attributes you are looking for when the recording quality is there. So having said that, what type of budget range are you considering for your digital source? Are... | |

| Help with speaker choice Actusreus...just a quick response on your comment about the Devore Gibbon 9s. I have heard them at my dealer a bunch of times and "lean" is not an adjective I would use to describe their sonic attributes. I actually found them to be a bit warm wit... | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett I am a big fan and for sure his ECM recordings are phenomenal. I think he is very well known within the relatively small niche of jazz afficionados. But beyond that circle it will be hard to find folks who are familiar with him, let alone Tomasz S... | |
| New SS Integrated from ARC DSi200 ... Hifi News' March 2010 edition just gave the DSi200 a very positive review. | |
| Help with speaker choice if you have not considered them, Devore Fidelity Gibbon 9 speakers are phenomenal and offer everything you are looking for and are easy to drive (also tube friendly given benign impedance curve if you are contemplating tubes down the road). should... | |
