Jun 11, 2003	Remote or no remote for the Audio Research LS3. I was using LS3 without remote for 8 years and now have upgraded to REFERENCE II (remote is a standard).

May 07, 2003	Pass Labs Aleph Amps and Tube Preamps I am using Aleph 2 with Audio Research Reference II. The combination is excellent. I don't see any impedence issue. The sound is so warm and sweet.
