| Can ARC Reference Phono handle my Cartridge The simple answer is yes. The ARC Ref. has two inputs, one is high gain that includes a step up transformer (200 ohm) the other is low gain w/o tranformer (47k). They can be changed either by the factory or by the local dealer to different values. | |
| The Audio Research Database Could you post a direct link to this website? I don't know if I am doing something wrong, but I cannot link or find it in a search............ Sounds interesting though.Thankscmo | |
| Which taps 8 or 4 ohm for electrostats? I have ML Prodigy's and am running them with a ARC VT-200. I found the sound to be much more impactful and extended at the frequency extreems going into the 8 ohm taps. The 4 ohms give me a more laid back softer sound (which is nice too). I usuall... | |
| Cd players with variable output? Theta Miles for around $1200 used is an excellent piece. Has variable analog output. Go for the balanced version though. | |

| VTL ST-150 vs ARC VT100 MK2 I auditioned both of these amps in my system and to my ears the ARC simply blew the VTL away. It seemed to have more power and control over my speakers. I preferred it tonally too with the VTl sounding much more forward but not as extended at eith... | |
| Sensitive Monitors I have heard the JM Labs Mini U's and Dynaudio Special 25's at my local dealers showrooms (So I can only give a half informed report). From my point of view I much preferred the Dyn's (they were on the receiving end of an ARC system/ VT-100, LS 16... | |
| Three electrostat choices and my room-- need help I have a pair of Prodigy's and tried moving them out of my living room (and wifes way)to a room in my house of similar size to yours (12x22x8). I did not have good results, the room was just too small in my opinion. The speakers would not image ve... | |
| ARC: Outstanding Customer Service I too have had great experiences with ARC............ Love thier sound too. | |
| Amp's to mate with Martin Logan Prodigy speaker's I am using an Audio Research VT-200 with my Pridigy's and the match is great. In fact I talked with a couple of tech's at ML and they told me they use ARC tube amps to voice thier speakers. You can find VT-200's on Agone used for around $3500-$400... | |

| Has ANYONE ever used A McIntosh 225 ? My friend and I tried his Mac 225 in my system comparing it to my amp at that time (Sonic Frontiers Power2).To make a not so long story short he ended up buying my SF when I upgraded. The SF sounded better in all regards driving Martin Logan Prodi... | |
| Fireworks in an Audio Research VT200 Funny you should ask. I was relaxing....... reading a magazine with a little Ella Fitzgerald playing in the background the other night when all of a sudden WWHAM, HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! My entire living room lit up with a wonderful lightni... | |
| PS Audio, Musical fidelity, Audio Research, Quad? Try a new preamp. You could find a dedicated two channel unit that would probably sound much better than your surround unit for not a lot of dough........... Maybe used ARC LS15 or Audible Illusions mod 3A....... |
