| ARC D-115 use half of tubes Hifigeek1, I think the OP is talking about a D115. However, the same advice would apply. | |
| ARC D-115 use half of tubes I used to own a Classic 60 before I owned my D70Mk2. IMO, the Classic 60 is not in the same league as the D70Mk2. While the Classic 60 is a good amp, I don't think it has anywhere near the midrange purity or the ability to float the soundstage lik... | |
| ARC D-115 use half of tubes I own a D70MK2 and I think it is actually a better sounding amp than the bigger D115! The other plus, which I think a lot of tube amp users forget...or don't truly understand, is that the more tubes, the more heat and more potential for failure. S... | |
| High end cartridge made in USA? The history of the MC is interesting, however, I do not think it explains the lack of manufacturing today in the US. BTW, I believe the new Linn MC...the Kandid is in fact made in Japan by Lyra. Is there still a UK manufactured MC besides the Decc... | |
| High end cartridge made in USA? Johhnyb53, I think what you say is absolutely correct. Although, I am not sure which high-end MC cart is made in the UK....are you referring to the Deccas? Question is why are no high-end MC's made in the US or Canada. I still don't see a viable r... | |
| High end cartridge made in USA? Looking at the prices of some/most of the high end MC's from Japan, Switzerland and Holland, I seriously doubt that the manufacturer's are working for 50 cents an hour. | |
| Rel sub cable options Everest, I don't know what cable you are supplying your customers, BUT the cable that came with my REL was not terminated at the amp end. I added spades as an upgrade. | |
| Rel sub cable options Regarding the extra long stock REL cable...it is actually VERY easy to cut it down in length to any size that is needed. I think there is a nice increase in SQ when one cuts the cable to the minimum length required. Just be careful you don't cut t... | |
| M&K Lp's...still superb after all these years. Dan, The infamous eBay is the source for these LP's. Lots of bidders always, so be on the look out. | |

| Listening to Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue Myles, thanks for the info, very interesting and informative.I guess one has to also remember that any company that is in the reissue business is probably a little restricted by the condition of the original master tape that they get to utilize. T... | |
| Listening to Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue Musicpod, I don't know why many artists were featured that way, but it is certainly not uncommon. I have several other older Blue Notes and jazz LP's that are recordings of artists on stage in the same positioning. | |
| Listening to Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue I noticed that as well, although it doesn't bother me. I think one has to remember that if the musicians are on stage right and stage left only...and no one in the middle, then this would be a fairly accurate reproduction. I suspect that is what h... | |
| hard wired or aftermarket powercord I have a hard wired ARC D70Mk2, I think there was a good reason why the designers did this to their products. The ability to replace your power cord with an after market model, may not be an upgrade in this instance. IMO. | |
| Listening to Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue Musicpod, I had the same problem with an early release of this LP. Lots of surface noise! I replaced it with a later copy and no problems. Some of these reissues are not as pristine as they could be in regards to quality control, luckily they seem... |
