| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Thank you Oneobgin. . . On Ref 3 I did not need much convincing. . . I simply let my ears do the walking. I have in fact auditioned the Valhalla PC on X-01 and on the VAC Ren II. I found it to be wonderfully extended at both ends, without displeas... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Fplanner, unfortunately listening to the mighty Phi 2.0 was not in the cards this time around. Yet, several years down the road -- if I upgrade linestage once again -- I will give VAC's production once more a fair chance.In the meantime, have you ... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Thank you J_Badov, and a very Merry Christmas to you too! Seriously, if you want to experiment with high density ballasts in isolation platforms, Tungsten may be a good way to explore. The Tungsten Company suggests Tungsten is being already applie... | |
| WHICH ARC LINESTAGE TO REPLACE LS-15? Hmmm, there are still rampant rumours of an impending LS26. . . perhaps at CES? If the pricing of the Ref 3 is any indication, an LS26 may be priced very similarly to the current LS25 Mk. 2, which when new is priced similarly to a used Ref 2 Mk. 2... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Thank you Downunder. The Act 2 does not meet my requirement for a fully balanced design. | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Depleted Uranium is nothing but regular Uranium with a slightly higher U238 to U235 ratio, and is a healthy source of ionizing radiation. Your gonads will love you for the extra attention to their well being!Depleted Uranium is used in weaponry no... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? And a very Merry Christmas to you too WC65Mustang! I am still enjoying my rig but . . . it is now almost as if I were trying to virtualize the new sound in my mind, through the performance limitations of my current setup. . . very bizarre indeed! ... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Sure Mustang. . . . . and so will most other active brands eventually improve. . . . but that is neither here nor there. Enjoy your rig! | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? WC65Mustang, I am sure Mitch makes fabulous devices. I will consider listening to one when the brand meets my requirements. | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? JAFOX, I did perform a little due diligence before passing my order. It is being aledged that ARC is NOT in the process of announcing a new version of the Ref 3 at CES. Yet an Mk. 2 or whatever is eventually inevitable, and I am looking forward to... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? ObGin and Jafox, not wanting to mortgage the future, it is safe to say that the ARC Ref 3 will be the very best linestage I Have ever ownED! | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? OK my merry gang of doubters out there, it is truly happening. . . I have finally broken down for Christmas. . . and while ranting and foaming at the mouth under the spell and spasms of a full blown ceasure of Audiophilia Newrvosa, hands like claw... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Also created for laboratory environments are the active Halcyonics isolation platforms. TBG has had a great experience with them. | |
| New Helix PowerSnakes Cable From Shunyata ? Thank you Amperidian, my next listening test in the -- hopefully not too distant -- future will be performed on the Shunyata Anaconda Helix Alpha versus its VX counterpart, both used to power the mighty Teac Esoteric X-01. It should be fun. . . st... | |
| New Helix PowerSnakes Cable From Shunyata ? I had a recent opportunity to compare the original Anaconda Alpha with the new Anaconda Helix Alpha. The 6 ft long chords were used to power Babybear's Teac Esoteric X-01. To test the effect of the chords we used several SACDs of Jazz music to gag... |
