| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Thank you Brian for your clarification. Unfortunately simple and ready access to manufacturer's info is one of my other criteria for selecting a device. I am sure Blowtorch is a fine linestage, yet I fear there won't be any Blotorch in my future. ... | |

| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Brian, the CTC site has no info about Blotorch I could find. Your web site did not show any info on it I could find either. Are there specs anywhere on the Blotorch? | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Good point Jsen. There is a slight price advantage in the Ren Sig over the Phi. Furthermore there are less tubes than in the Phi. The opposite side of the coin is that Kevin deems the Phi 2.0 to be VAC's current preamplification flagship. What to ... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Thank you once more Oneobgin for your insight. Will the new Lamm be a fully balanced design or will Vladimir continue his single ended tradition?By the way, how much does ARC charge for the Ref 3 upgrade?Jsen, unfortunately I have not heard the Re... | |

| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Sorry john, but I have taken the liberty of copy/pasting here some of the very insightful comments you just posted on the LS25 vs Calypso thread. They are most useful in the context of this very high end linestage thread:". . . Two years later, en... | |
