Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27?
Again, I have a hard time with people complaining that they use the same circuit or similar circuits year after year. As a Warranty Repair Station for ARC, I can say without question their circuits change as do the parts they use. If people need t...

This is exactly what happens when a car manufacturer comes out with a new model every year. That's why some people buy used cars in order for someone else to take the depreciation 'hit'. Are people pissed because once they drive their new car off ... 
Conrad Johnson MV60SE vs. Audio Research VS55
I have replied to you Glasspak but it doesn't seem to post. Also sent you mail. Did you not get it? 
audio research REF 150
I have one in for service..Will keep you posted. Looks nice, huge coupling caps. This one is silver silver. Pretty. When it's finished I will report the power output and -3dB points 
Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27?
Agreed. If you don't keep reinventing yourself you will be quickly passed by the competition.

Happy hunting! 
Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27?
Yes there are many things you can do with an SP-10 to improve it, but some of the limitations are with the 6922's themselves. Most of the new ARC line stages use 6H30's which frankly are better tubes with regard to dynamics and voltage swing then ...

LOL I can't keep track of all the ARC Amps. I'm sure the Ref150 will use KT-120's. Check with the factory on the KT-120 Ref 110 issue just to make sure it will work. I'm sure it will just a good idea to check with the factory first. Kalvin should ...

There is also a way to 'speed up' the servo so it pulls in sooner but that is something a qualified tech should do with parts and documentation from ARC.

Just a quick question here..Onhwy61, Have you ever designed a solid state of tube line stage or the power supply that goes to that line stage?? I love how people dismiss what's involved in the design of a product.If you had never designed a piece ...

My guess is you have a faulty tube or tube socket. A lot of times a tech will miss either corrosion, if you happen to live near the coast, corrosion can occur under a tube socket, or you have some corrosion on the circuit board. It is also possibl...

But that IS the point isn't it. 
ARC SP8 as Phono Stage
Newbee couldn't agree more. The SP-8 and SP-10 are decades old products and in it's day the SP-10 was considered SOTA. The SP-10 had an awesome phono stage in it, much better then the SP-8, whose phono stage was almost identical to the SP-6 series... 
EAR 834 Integrated tube help needed
Yes since an ECC85 is a 6AQ8 and an ECC83 is a 12AX7 that would not be good..Happy to help Radio. 
Scott 222 B tube amp
Well understand that this unit, when repaired, would work well with a small pair of bookshelf speakers that are efficient. And by that I mean 88-91dB 1W/1m minimum. Generally, JBL's are efficient, but I'm not familiar with those models to know wha...
