| Upgrade Vandy 3A's or get larger amp? Do you prefer solid state or tubes?I've owned Vandersteen's for nearly nine years before upgrading to Merlins.As good as the Vandies are,they overall are somewhat colored in respect to the Merlins.It simply is a matter choice vs dollars.If you pla... | |
| Power cables for ARC VT100MK2 Tom, To answer you're above concern,yes it can however save you're money on round trip freight by calling Leonard and requesting the kit for replacing stock cords.It comes with a punch out for the back plate.So now you've invested a little time,pa... | |
| which powercord? jps,esp,shunyata....? If you have around 500 to spend,then go for the whale.I've tried other big buck PC's and the BMI whale is the most neutral of them all....Check out the feedback or better yet,order one direct.You'll be glad you did......... | |

| How many you wax spinners know ET arms? I've been using the ET2 for the last 12 yrs.and it's a very good arm.Once properly set,and one should use the jig for that,it's done, forget about it Tony....It's impossible to find an arm this good especially on the used market say around 800 or ... | |

| Spkr cables for ARC VT100MK2 I've used Sterling on top and Clear on bottom for nearly 4yrs.driving the Merlin Excalibur 2's. I went from VTmk1 to VTmk2 and now VTmk3 and still cookin.You might consider upgrade to VT3.Very nice........ | |
| Power cables for ARC VT100MK2 I've used both of the Synergistic cords Master Coupler and the Ref.They are ok, however are a bit too brite for my taste.I've had VT1 and VT2 and now VT3 and prefer the BMI Whale.I've also tried the Viper2,although quite good,a bit too foward of a... |
