| Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110? There is a reason for everything---almost. I am sure that ARC engineers know how to insert a fuse for protection of the circuit instead of a resistor. Would save lots of customer inquiries, returned amps in the tube warranty period and customer co... | |
| Coincident Pure Reference Extreme RWDJust looked at your system. Very very nice. If the system reflects your current taste, then you may still prefer Wilson/Audio Research and/or VTL. | |
| Coincident Pure Reference Extreme The sound of he Coincident room at the NY Show was excellent. No complaints. And this is from a high powered tube amp/Wilson guy | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help Nice to hear that things are progressing well. | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help I've heard your speakers on 2 occasions at shows and thought that they were extraordinarily good. And this was in hotel rooms with suboptimal set up. I do not like harsh highs and did not hear that characteristic from the LS50s. Which leads me to ... | |
| Wilson Sophia 3 or Kharma DB7 Depends. Kharma has long been the home of remarkably pure and transparent midrange and extended but delicate highs. Wilson, while not quite as transparent (although not far off), offers much greater dynamics and world class imaging. I have not hea... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? That image scared me. I hadn't checked my stylus with a scope in about 6 months, so I checked my cart (Dynavector XV1-S) this morning with my USB digital microscope (same one Michael recommends) and found it to be clean ---very unlike Michael's pi... | |
| Kef LS50 vs. Emerald Physics CS3 mk2 LS50----I have never heard a better monitor under 3k. | |
| Where do the tubes go? I have never had a tubed source, but I've had tubed pres with ss amps and vice versa. I'm most comfortable with tubed pre and amp, but if you have been all ss and want to experiment by dipping your toe in the water, go with a tubed pre as it will ... | |
| SS Pre-amps that can beat an Audio Research sp16 I'm a pretty died in the wool ARC guy, but I have to agree that Ayre makes a great pre that has as close a flavor to ARC as i have heard in ss pres of affordable price. | |
| Magico S5 vs Wilson Alexia These are 2 entirely different speakers. they are both outstanding in their own right. You should pay to travel to hear them if necessary. I prefer the Alexia as they have more (but still realistic) bass and do a better disappearing act. They simp... | |
| RIP Panny Plasmas Still have an early generation Fujitsu 50" plasma which is far better in every respect than my 3 year old sony XBR and than every LCD I've ever seen. Hopefully, plasma survives. | |
| Heads Up: ARC is introducing the new SP-20 in Fall By all accounts the companies owned by Fine Sounds do operate independently with the exception of Wadia which is now located at the ARC facility. In that regard, I know that they share some of ARCs administrative personnel. Hopefully, that's as fa... | |
| Heads Up: ARC is introducing the new SP-20 in Fall Now that Fine Sounds owns Sonus faber and ARC, I believe Sonus Fabers will be the speakers of choice for the ARC listening room | |
| Pledge Multi Surface Clearer DreadheadWhich Novus product do you use to clean your dustcover or do you use more than one? |
