| Turbo power supply for Oracle turntable I own the Oracle Delphi MKV SE (Granite base plus turbo power supply). The Oracle Turbo supply makes a noticeable improvement in the perfromance of an already super turntable. I would recommend using the Oracle Turbo supply. | |
| Reasonable preamps with phono stage An ARC SP9 MKIII is an excellent performer with both line and phono stages. It can be purchased used for about $750. | |
| Maggie 3.6 amplification concern I am using an ARC VT100 MKII with my MG 3.5 with excellent results. Great slam, bass extension and robustness. | |
| NBS cables vs Kharma cables with Lamm gear ? Rcprince:Well spoken. Your advise was very objective.TabuI find the top of the line NBS cables to be exceptionally musical and natural sounding and are not more "coloured" than other top cables. Simply try the cables in your system and depend on y... | |
| I have an ARC LS 25 MK 1......... Rwd:I am using the VT100 MKII with my LS 25 MKI also. The combo with the NOS is awesome. A set of four 6h23 NOS will cost about $100 ($25 each) | |
| I have an ARC LS 25 MK 1......... I would recommend keeping your MKI and instead upgrade the stock 6922 with other NOS tubes such as the 6H23s (6922) available from Upscale Audio, et al.I made the same choice. I kept my MKI. I feel strongly, that the MKI with NOS is markedly more ... | |
| Is Audio Research Corp alive and well? I have owned ARC products since 1976/77 starting with the venerable D76A, followed by the D115 MKII and the VT 100 MKII. I have owned numerous preamps such as the SP6, SP9 MKI/II, the SP14, LS2B MKI/II and LS25 and PH2. I have dealt with ARC and L... | |
| PV-10, PV-11, PV-12, SFL-1 Sig or LS2? Help I paired the LS2B MKII with a D115 MKII for 5 years with excellent results. The midrange was rich and full. However, for best results do not use the stock Sovtek 6922.The LS2B MKII is higly recommended with the D115 MKII. | |

| Magnepan wire upgrade I had my MG 3.5/R completely rewired by Magnepan, internally, with Discovery hook-up cable. The improvements were substantial. I also replaced the caps with MIT/Solen capacitors both internally and in the external x-over. This modified speaker is ... | |
| ARC...D-90B or D-115MKII? - Driving Maggie 1.6s I used the D115 MkII for 12 years to drive the MG 3A and 3.5/R. The D115 MKII was an excellent performer, and is highly recommended for the MG 1.6. I would use the quasi-biamping technique with the ARC.. | |
| ARC VT-100 MK II vs. Sonic Frontiers Power 2 With NOS 6H23 6922 tubes the VT100MKII also sounds like a different amp. With these tubes the VT100 MKII equals the VT100 MKIII in terms of detail retrieval, midbass robustness and bass extension. However the MKII surpasses, easily, the MKIII in t... | |
| Opinions on ARC D125 and/or D115 Mk 2 Amps ? I owned the ARC D115 MkII for 12 years (1988-2000). It performed flawlessy. I experienced some tube arching problems some yaears ago when I tried the Chineese 6550. Since replacing the Chineese 6550 with the Sevetlana tubes, the amp was trouble fr... | |
| What is the difference between MIT &Transparent? Confedboy is correct. The people at Transparent use to manufacture the MIT cables prior to starting Transparent audio. | |
| I am considering purchasing a Helikon cartridge... The recommended loading of 100 ohms was specifically for the ARC PH2/PH3/SE and LS25 combo. As you indicated, results will vary depending on the system, personal preference, etc.The Jadis/Aesthetics combo has a warmer tonal balance (IMO) than an A... |
