| Can anyone recommend a ARC repair service in NYC a Thanks all...I'll try Technetron first due to easier access. Ben is a reliable guy but Brooklyn is not that convenient. One good thing about ben is that I needed repair on a CD-2 display and had it sent to him from ARC...Tried to deliver my CD-2 f... | |

| Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.? Try going to Alcoholics Anonymous and spend your $$ on audio. Alcohol is a rapacious creditor...plus you will enjoy your music much better having better components. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Magneplaner 20.1...A very difficult and subjective question...my experience was when I was in an adjacent room when I thought there was a piano player at the keyboard....what I was hearing was a pair of Magneplaner 20.1s biamped with a pair of ARC... | |
| A question about the logic of interconnect cables Thanks all for your feedback.....one thing I have done is when I go to Hi End Shows like the CES in Las Vegas, I make note of major mfgs like ARC, Magnepan, Krell, Conrad Johnson etc. to note what power cords they use....after all, they are showca... | |
| Any insight with the Berkeley Alpha DAC ..?? I am not sure at this point. My current thoughts are to run it threw my ARC tube preamp and then try without. I have heard about the SooLoos but have no experiance with it//sorry. | |

| What comes after CD`s? You might want to investigate the latest technology from Reference Recordings with respect to their latest concept and I might add ..HRx releases. This new technology available on DVD-R playing through a Windows XP desktop fitted with a Lynx AES 1... | |
| A question about the logic of interconnect cables To MarkphdThanks for your response.. Your point about about some high end Mfgs not believing you need any special wire speaks volumes to my point. I have often felt that there should be some some scientific evidence of the benefit of one cable ove... | |
| A question about the logic of interconnect cables Thanks for the info...and I don't mean to belabor the point BUT..if all what is true above and RCA plugs. XLR connectors do affect the signal ..then why are we not soldering our cables board to board? | |
| Seating distance to Magnepan 3.6r's? As a footnote to all this, when I first started with the Maggies, I had an 8 foot ceiling and this lasted for 20 years...then I moved into a building where the living room had a cathedral ceiling...When I put the system back together and turned it... | |
| Any insight with the Berkeley Alpha DAC ..?? Typo error on my part..HRx DVD-R is indeed correct..thanks for the nudge | |
| Any insight with the Berkeley Alpha DAC ..?? I also read that the Berkeley sounds best running directly to the amp. Am I guessing correctly that the gain (or volume) controls are in the PC for this preferred arrangement?? | |
| Seating distance to Magnepan 3.6r's? Think of placement this way.....The Maggies send sound waves in both directions forward and backward...what you are seeking is the blending of the two....just as if there was a piano or a quartet in your room....they don't go against the wall....a... |
