| Audio Research Tube AMP Reliability I owned the ARC D76A for 12 years (1976 - 1988) with no service issues and still going strong in a friend's system, same for the ARC D115 MKII (1988- 2000 , which I owned for 12 years. I now have the ARC VT100 MKII since about 2000 with only needi... | |
| Revamp Garrard 301, keep Oracle V or move along? I would like to add my comments in reaction to Mikelavigne's characterization of the Oracle MKV as lean sounding. That may well be Mikels experience based on the associated equipment, etc. But in my system, the Oracle MKV SE (granite base)/Heli... | |

| Revelation tonearm cable - users Tshulba:I am very happy with the cable. Most of the persons with negative statements may not have actually auditioned the cable in their systems. The bad rap on the company in terms of customer service is not shared by me based on my own personal ... | |

| Revelation tonearm cable - users I am using the Revelation Audio cable in my Helikon/Phantom/Oracle Delphi MKV/ARC PH2 setup. In my system a fully broken-in Revelation tonearm cable is superior to the Graham IC-70 in virtually all performance categories. It is especially more rob... | |
| newbie questiun on E88CC and ECC88 The E88CC are the "Select" version of the ECC88 6DJ8/6922. Vintage Mullard and Telefunken E88CC were usually made with GOLD PINS and have very close triode balances and very low noise and are typically longer lasting. I currently own sets of 4 Tel... | |
| ARC LS26 performance for $2500-3000? The sleeper preamp is the ARC LS25 MKI wtih NOS or used vintage tubes. In my opinion, with good tubes (Mullard or Telefunken 6DJ8 ) the LS25 MKI betters the LS25 MKII in terms of musicality and liquidity, while matching the bass articulation of th... | |
| Phono cable for Graham Phantom I am using the Revelation Paradise Cryo-Silver Reference Phono/Tone Arm Interconnect cable with XLR connectors. This unheralded cable is a superb performer. Highly recommended. Others have complained about customer service issues, however I have ... | |
| Audio Research LS series...... HI:My recommendation would depend on how much $$ you want to spend. I have owned the LS2B, LS2B mkII and the LS25 MKI. The LS25 MKI is a very good performer, but will be quite a bit more expensive than the LS2B. I have tried the LS15 in my system ... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner I have to second Sirspeedy's discourse on the fallibility of the hobbyist in setting up their arm/cartridge/table combination optimally. As such, definitive statements (including mine) must be tempered by this obvious fact. I have had the Phantom ... | |
| Great Cartridge for Graham Phantom Hello Sirspeedy. All the best for the new year. I am glad to see that you have decided to take the plunge and go for the Phantom. I know that you have put a lot of thought into your decision. I am sure you will be very happy with the results. If p... | |
| Isolation for tube amps I am using the Ceraballs under my ARC VT100 MKII with excellent results. Improvements in clarity, focus and bass definition were not subtle. Also, the soundstage opened up considerably. | |
| Active Crossover Recommendations Linkoping:I disagree with your blanket statement about the Marchand xovers. I am using the XM126 in my system with excellent results. Additionally, the company provides very good support for its products. The Marchand tube xovers are excellent per... |
