ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply?
Thanks, time to get some new tubes and hear the difference. What's the difference between the tubes that are being sold by Gon members in the ARC section which are half the price and buying directly from ARC and paying at least 100% more. 
ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply?
Guido, thanks for the info. and I fully agree regarding manuals and respect any persons own findings. Allot of ARC owners recommend just as Oneobgyn above has mentioned to stick with the Audio Research tubes but obviously you have chosen to go ano...

Hi Guido what I read in my manual was aprox. 4000 hours so at 1700 you were not even half way.I am curious now so any other ARC REF3 owners if you could jump in.

Hi Teajay I had sent you a email did you get it. I was looking into getting the Flora and while doing so found out there have been some changes which I thought you and others would like to know.The Mondorf caps have been changed to supposedly a be... 
AR LS 26 and Pass Labs X350.5 Compatible?
Aurelius, I have a Audio Research Ref3 and had it paired up with PASS X-600.5's and that was a great combo driving Eggleston Andra 2's. 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Branimir,Good to see that you got the new AA Tube Dac and are enjoying it.You really are missing out not changing the tubes, there are only two 12ax7's. I'm not really into tube rolling either but this is so easy and I look at it like changing out... 
VTL Siefried vs Audio Research 610T
Jon_p I did not want to hi-jack your thread but I have some insight of amps with MAXX 2's. If you have the chance get some CAT's to try do your self a favour and do so. A friend has the JL3 mono blocks and the sound was marvelous, he actually rece... 
Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis?
Hi Teajay sorry about this but I have to respond to these MBL questions. Nilthepill I have never heard a all MBL system so I have no experience with that sound but hearing another members MBL system (no MBL electronics) along with my current set-u...

Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis?
Hi Branimir Thanks for your response, that's fair to give your opinion and personal taste regarding the MBL 101's but I must say that I disagree with your findings 100% and I am most defiantly not experiencing artificial sound or when you referred... 
Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis?
Hi Sydsrig, Avalon's are great speakers. When I first owned my Diamond's and then replaced them with the Isis it most defiantly was an upgrade. If you were asking me; should I upgrade to the Isis from my Eidolon's would it be worth the extra money... 
Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis?
Thanks Branimir for the info, a good friend has the X2's and awaiting to receive MK2's. I have to say it may be his set-up but they only impressed me short term and you need to play very load. Now the Rockports you have mentioned sound very intrig...
