ARC amp differences.
@mbarmash Is it possible that your C22 is just ready for new tubes?  They can degrade so slowly over time you don't notice it.  
Magnepans and dogs
@roxy54  My point is that no dog is ever a replacement for a dog that you have loved and lost, but as long as you live, there is another dog out there somewhere that needs your love as much as you need theirs. Take the plunge when you feel up to... 
XLR cables for a reasonable price?
I don't use XLR cables so take this as you may.  But I have read several times where Atmasphere states that the quality of XLR cables is not of paramount importance where both of the components being connected have true internally balanced designs.  
ARC amp differences.
I recently heard the Sonus Faber Lilium speakers driven by McIntosh MC451 hybrid dual mono amps and MSB streamer/ DAC/preamp and it sounded, in a word, divine.  
Advice on using a dac with my avr
Oh my gosh, can you imagine someone discussing an audio/video receiver in the home theater section of this website?  
Audio Research Financial Troubles
@mulveling These threads are really just lightning rods to bring out the "I don’t like Audio Research" guys 😅 Possibly, but at least some of us are business people with a lifetime of experience analyzing business financial situations includin... 
Audio Research Financial Troubles
@hsounds  let me know when I can stop by and grab your Ref 6,3,or 2,SE on the cheap If you are really in the market, have you looked on Audiogon or USAudiomart recently?  There is plenty to chose from at attractive prices.        
Audio Research Financial Troubles
@ghdprentice Audio Research’s problems are long over. Nothing to do with the viability of the business, but of a highly leveraged buy out by a great guy with the best intentions and a change in the interest rates. Respectfully submitted, whil... 
New Speaker advice
I am going against the flow here, but I have a friend with an older Denon AVR and I am always amazed at how good it sounds.  I have always thought Denon makes very nice sounding gear for its price points.  
Room Too Dead
Or, before going crazy. If it was me before doing anything else, why not just buy a graphic equalizer and make adjustments to increase or decrease the offending eq bands. I am a fan of the reasonably priced Schiit Lokius which I use in my system... 
Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
ghdprentice brings up a great point I hadn't considered in mentioning using it mostly for its DAC.  It would be nice though to have a spare laser assembly in a cabinet somewhere.   Just like I will now buy a spare remote for my electronics to have... 
Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
Regarding the ARC CD6SE, are replacement lasers available from ARC or eBay/other, or is it destined to be an expensive boat anchor when the current laser goes bye bye?  
High Fidelity Cables?
@agisthos and @68pete Other than the fact he has apparently ripped off tranchautuan for several $thousand and is not making any timely attempts to pay him back he is just a peach of a fella. This is of course assuming, as I am, that tranchautua... 
Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
@wharfy Will be auditioning an Audio Research CD6SE this coming weekend. Curious how you were able to secure an audition.  I was under the impression that the CD6SE was discontinued two or three years ago after a two-year run because Phillips (...
