| Audio Research Ref 5 preamp While I was at the dealers my intentions being directed at listening to the Ref5 and purchasing but I did get to hear the new New Jeff Rowland Criterion pre, besides the stunning eye candy look it seemed to offer more sonic difference. I also own ... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 preamp Samuel, I can see you are one of those types I mentioned by your response above, take it easy. I never attacked anyone's opinion and enjoyed reading your review but provided another version in which you seem to have a problem with and that tells m... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 preamp Hi guys, this dealer is one of the first original ARC dealers arround, along with ARC caries all kinds of other gear including Jeff Rowland, Boulder, DCS, Esoteric, JM Labs, Sonus Faber and the list goes on. They have all the toys to play with and... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 preamp Okay I would like to jump in here and provide my 2 cents.I'm a happy owner of the Ref3 for many years now and reading replies here some I must say shocked me and suggest I gotta just get this new Ref5 because it's just that much better than my Ref... | |
| Why manufactures don´t burn in their amps and ... Well not all companies are alike, I recently purchased a pair of Bryston 28B SST SQ mono blocks and went for a tour of the manufactures facility.They have a long wall basically dividing their work area in the back of the building and on both sides... | |
| Best digital interconnect Hi Bullot,there really is no best, only different and that will really depend on the rest of your set-up including taste. Out of the two you are trying I ended up with the Sextet with latest connectors in my set-up and don't miss the ridget, heavy... | |
| Bryston 28 sst's vs Spectron Musician 3 SE ?

Secondly you said "What is not clear to you?... | |
| Bryston 28 sst's vs Spectron Musician 3 SE ? You most certainly did, Mike said "I have had opportunity to audition Bryston in the dealer showroom. Very good amplifier but it did not "touch" me." you need to re-read your own post above.Now you are suggesting you did not say this please.Mike s... | |
| Bryston 28 sst's vs Spectron Musician 3 SE ? I disagree with specific auditioning methods, comparing listening at a dealers location and then in your own home, just doesn't add up for me. It seems that I was addressed regarding Spectron and a new model, firstly I was not "scared" that Spectr... | |
| Bryston 28 sst's vs Spectron Musician 3 SE ? I figured I should post so others can read.I picked up a pair of 28 Squared mono's recently so my system would not be down in between listening to other amps as some times this can happen from time to time and you have to wait for a bit.My most re... | |
| Audio Research Reference 5 Preamp Dpac996 I have to agree with you on this one, it seems a little strange. I'm a happy REF3 owner and I have been looking foward to the new REF5 but after finally seeing it I have to say I'm kinda left scratching my head feeling the same way especia... | |

| mcintosh 501 with Audio Research Ref 3 Yes there is synergy with these two, I had my REF3 paired up with these actual amps driving Eggleston Andra 2's and then moved onto PASS X600.5's and prefered. IC's connected in balance mode, XLR | |
| Cables for an MBL Reference system? Jackaroe, I have tried a few different cable manufactures some costing ridiculous money but presently using Stealth product through out for over the past year. You do have a reference system which is big $$$ so I would try different cables and not... | |
