| Wadia S7i vs Esoteric K-01/K-03 vs MSB I have heard all 3, the Esoteric K 01 and Wadia S7i in my system as well as Cary and DCS (all) the MSB (top configuration and analogue DAC in a few other systems. I've also heard Bricasti (but not long enough and in enough systems to evaluate--but... | |
| Shunyata Hydra Reference should have been to Cardas Golden Reference. I also note that the Focal speakers are superb and very naturally revealing and cannot be the reason that the OP cannot hear the effects of the Shunyata products IMHO. | |
| Shunyata Hydra Uh oh---here comes the controversy. I used to have an all Mac system C1000 peamp and Mc 2102 amp with Watt puppy 7s. Added a Hydra and 2 Anaconda pcs and could detect no audible difference other than a slight increase in gain. I kept the Shunyata ... | |

| Understanding Gain in the ARC Ref Phono 2 SE Philb7777I have red 40 and ref phono 2 and use with dynavector xv1-s. high gain is the only way to go. My favorite loading is 500 ohms. But you may prefer others. | |

| Most expensive piece of vinyl you acquired is? Just paid $75 for Analogue Productions Elvis 24 karat hits. It's 3 discs of 45 rpm 200g vinyl. Had doubts when I put the order in but no doubts now. The sound is spectacular. | |
| Which preamps is better? ARC REF 3 vs MC-2300 Ref 3. Cmalak's description of the differences is accurate. I test listened to the Ref 3 once against the Mac C1000. I initially preferred the C1000 but that was because I was doing the comparison in a system with a Mac amp. I purchased ithe C1000... | |
| audio research REF 150 I'm with Cmalak. Pinkus must have an ax to grind as his comment contributed nothing to the op's question. Furthermore, the improvements in the last few iterations of ARC ref amps and preamps have been quite significant and all for the better. | |
| audio research REF 150 Very much I believe. I had listened to the Ref 210 with about 787 joules years back and can say without qualification that the Ref 150 sounds, feels and was in all areas of perception much more powerful than the Ref 210. It drives the Sashas very ... | |
| audio research REF 150 BirwynneAs one who had the Ref110 for a few years in 6550 form and then in KT120 form and then the Ref 150 since its initial launch, my opinion is that the 110 was a very good amp but a little too diaphanous--not very strong in the midbass and lac... | |
