| ARC Support It is nice to hear that there are a few happy souls that have dealt with ARC. How do many of you recent product owners find the support? They seem to support product that is no longer made better than the current production items. Maybe it is beca... | |
| ARC Support Rosemke: Sorry to say you are one out of ten. I do not feel the mods, parts and service to be reasonable. When you deal with other companies, such as BAT or Aesthetix, the turnaround time on repairs or changes is lightning quick. With ARC, it may ... | |
| ARC Support ARC has done very similar things to many of their customers. They screwed me as well on an upgrade. Leonard, their "voice", is the "beware of this company" red flag. He is quite inept and has the personality of a rock. While the products are ok, t... | |
| Is there something missing in your April 2001 Stereophile? I had the same problem and Stereophile quickly sent me a replacement copy. | |
| Dallas Texas High End? Hi Albert, I wish I could join your group, but it may be quite a while until I am in Dallas. You know when I am there I will not miss a trip to Casa Porter. :) I cannot wait to see the incredible flooring as well as hear your magnificent system! | |

| How many of you have heard the Tenor Audio amps? I have a friend who compared them to the ARC Reference 300 MKII that he owns and the Tenor's walloped em. He said the ARC's sounded like hifi compared with the Tenor's and that the Tenor's had better bass, clarity, detail, speed, high extension an... | |
| Sellers that don't respond I totally agree with Craig. Blow it off! If the guy is not responsive when he is selling something, how do you think he is going to be when it comes to delivery?Do not waste your time. | |
| scd 777es sacd sony mod worth it? SimonTJU: You are only clarifying the fact that you have not been extremely honest with us here. You never mentioned in your earlier posts anything about how you came to your conclusions, or that they were solely based on other's reviews.I speak f... | |
| Speakers recommendations when placement is an issue The Piega's make some speakers that are specifically designed for placement close to the back wall. They are beautiful sounding and a true value speaker.What is your budget? | |
| scd 777es sacd sony mod worth it? My guess based on my experience with an original unit and then a finely modded unit by Richard Kern, is about 400 - 500 hours. At about 250 hours the thing sounded terrible. I almost wanted to dump it at that point but thanks to fellow users who w... | |
| any one comparing DCS with upsampling to SACD? dCS gear even using upsampling does not compare at all to SACD. The only dacs I have heard that approach SACD sonically are the Audiomeca Enkianthus and the Audio Aero. Both upsample to 24/192 and do not thin out the music like the dCS equipment. | |
| Arc Ref 2, Mk1 v. Mk II My evaluation was totally different. The Ref 2 MKI was boomy in the mid bass, very noisy and tonally off. Although it is still quite good, the MKII using the 6h30 tubes is much better. It is a bit quieter, faster and more tonally accurate.I would ... | |
| scd 777es sacd sony mod worth it? I am a big fan of "pecunia".Detlof: After having extensive conversations with Mes I can assure you that your modded unit will be absolutely top notch and tough to beat. SimonTJU stated that the Audiocom UK mod is the best, but I doubt he has heard... |
