| ARC VT 100: MkII vs. MkIII? Sparky57: You are basically screwed. The MKIII is out. It is an $1,850 upgrade (I think). | |
| "Whose" Beethoven do you like? BTW, Full price for the CD is only $11.99. | |
| "Whose" Beethoven do you like? Some may disagree, but Leinsdorf conducting the Boston Symphony in the performance of the 9th is magnificent. There is a remastered release on BMG's High Performance label that will blow you away. It is inspiring! As far as all around sonics and p... | |
| Amps for Avalon Radian HCs My vote goes to the ARC VT200. It is exactly what you are looking for according to your post. | |
| Top Ten Speaker Cables of all time?... Again, it would be the same as my vote for interconnects... Transparent Reference XL. But different systems work better with different cables. | |
| Top Ten Interconnects of all time... I know many people will disagree, but having compared many different cables... nordost spm, kimber select, MIT, etc., I find that the Transparent Reference XL is far superior. It is amazingly quiet and controlled. Very expensive but if you have th... | |

| Avantgarde Uno Loudspeakers: Comments? It is very exciting to listen to the Avantgardes. It is like going to a concert for the first time and hearing dynamics that you cannot normally hear in your home audio system. I recommend very highly if you like music to thrill and emotionally in... | |
| Mapleshade Recordings..GREAT or what? The recordings are very good depending on mike placement but I have to say most of the artists I have heard on both of Pierre's label are disappointing. | |
| Supreme recording! Tough one... I cannot choose one so... 1. Ricki Lee Jones - Pop Pop 2. Muddy Waters - Folk Singer (MFSL) 3. Minnesota Orch/Oue - Aaron Copland Fanfare (RR) | |
| ARC Ref 2 I have the same amp and the Ref 2 is a beautiful match for it. You will not be disappointed. | |
| ARC Ref 2 There is a huge difference between the Ref 1 & Ref 2. Much more airy with a HUGE soundstage, greater dynamics, etc. It also seems to be much more quiet of an amp. It does have a bit of the ARC signature (everything has some sort of signature s... | |
| All-time best recordings for romance Anything by Marvin Gaye. | |
| Balanced Preamp Recommendations? Audio Research Reference 2 is the best preamp I have ever heard. | |
| Rowland/Levinson preamp I have owned the 380s and thought it was GREAT!!! I do not know much about Synergy. I would assume that going with Levinson your resale would be better if that matters to you. |
