| H-CAT DAC FYI Roger Paul passed away recently, no idea if anyone else has taken on the businesshttps://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/roger-paul-has-passed-away?highlight=Roger%2BPaul | |
| Anyone Know What's Up With Townshend Audio? Site seems to be working fine now. Maybe someone just messed up paying the bills! | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover @audiolabyrinth it’s an interesting question. Clearly plexi sounds better to ARC, ie performs better in resonance terms, than aluminium. Certainly there’s no cosmetic reason to change out the bottom plate for example. However plexi does have its o... | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover Have fun! The Ref 6 should reveal whatever changes you make in feet or platforms. | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover I see, that’s plexi for sure. You can easily remove the existing rubber feet which will give you some more room to play with. The bigger issue may be the rear where there is even less clearance behind the plexi. In all my installs I’ve ended up ne... | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover By the way is the undercover on the Ref 6 truly plexi? If so all my rules about contacting it are out the window as plexi is so much less rigid than the older metal under covers I have, I’m not sure I’d like any footer contacting plexi | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover Adding any other footers under the existing ARC ones would not be a good idea as the sorbothane in the existing feet will fight the new footer. The one option that would work would be small sub based/platforms under each existing foot. Ron sells ... | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover I misspoke in a prior post. The Ref 40 undercover is always metal and stands proud of the frame, there is no option of a perspex undercover. You can can get a lot of the benefit of the Marigo footers by dropping a puck of his material under your e... | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover Yep, the series H are $2k a set, but the upgrades are audiblethe key issue with alternative footers on ARC preamps is clearance under the amp. There isn’t much room between the front of the amp and the raised under cover so larger footers will not... | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover @lostbears no, I’m waiting on Ron’s latest H series feet and then I’ll let the Fs trickle down to my other components | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover Marigo Mystery feet F8 -- two sets given the Ref 40 is a two chassis. I also have a SR Galileo LE power cord. | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover The cover has holes in it, so dust will get in anyway. At least with it off you can see and remove the dust, and if you’re bothered put it back, or another type of cover, when not listeningthe metal covers are worse as they resonate in a more prob... | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover It will sound better with the cover off anyway. No matter how thick the cover it traps and amplifies vibrations, assuming you don’t have small children I’d remove it | |
| Positive-Negative On BInding Posts It shouldn’t matter as little no as you wire up both speakers the same way, ie connect left side to black and right side to red on both speakers | |
