Bryston 4b SST or ARC 150.2 on Thiel cs2.4
In response to your question, I've never known bryston to be known for brightness. However Thiel's on the other hand are known to be bright particularly in certain applications.Having said that, ARC equipment mates well with each other, so from th...

Newbee, thanks for your response. I just want to ask a couple of questions? First what do you mean when you say rugged? and are you a saying that the tesla's are not quiet or not as quiet as the 6h23's?Some have said that the tesla's are similar t...

How do you negotiate a cure for wrong audio view
Unfortunately, I think we all( or a large percentage of us)have fallen into this quandary. The problem began with me when I was introduced to highend or at least at that time what I thought was highend equipment. The pursuit was on!!It was no long... 
Tubes for ARC PH3SE
I also have the PH3SE. In my opinion the bugle boys will sound much better than the stock ARC tubes and to my ears they will also sound better than the mullards overall.(mullards will have a little more bass)I'm currently using 6h23 russian tubes ... 
Something missing?
If I were you I would look at your cables, particularly interconnects, powercords, speaker. In that order. This is where I have found the biggest improvement in the area you are talking about.Speakers are the last link in the chain, they're not go... 
Downsizing from Audio Research REF110 to 100.2
The 100.2 is considered the best solid state amp audio research ever made and one of the best solid state amps around. It sounds more tube like than any solid state I've ever heard and I agree with Gmele, it is anything but tinny!Having said that,... 
Which ARC Linestage?
LS-25 mkII, the only thing better is the reference 3 and LS-26. I did not mention the reference 2 mkII because the 26 is better and around the same price.

Tube Rolling In Audio Research Phono Preamp
Rodman, It has not come as a shock to me at all. The fact that scare tactics have always been used as a means of getting people to pay more for something than its worth!!"When these are gone they'll not be anymore" Yeah right.There'll always be so... 
Tube Rolling In Audio Research Phono Preamp
I currently have a PH-3SE an am using 6h-23 Russian tubes from the cable co. They're very quiet and are comparable to Amperex 7308's which I replaced them with. Sovteks are junk, the only reason AR is telling you that is because that's the tube th...
