| VPI table, cart and phonostage? - Novice. Go for the Space Deck; its' tonearm is markedly superior to the JMW-9. | |

| What's a Triode configuration? You seem to be emotionally attached with this dream of owning a ARC product. If that's the case follow your dream but also know you have not purchased the best value for your money. Time was when ARC was one of the best high end lines available. U... | |
| What's a Triode configuration? Don't limit yourself to Audio Research. There are many tubed brands (Sonic Frontiers, BAT, deHavilland, Joule, Supratek, Conrad Johnson, Rogue, etc.) which will offer you better performance at comparable pricing. Check out the number of used ARC p... | |
| B&O wire colors >> If you love precise sound and image, it matters.<<Get real.You have no idea if the right and left channels are truly left and right through the entire recording, mixing, and cd/vinyl manufacturing process for every piece of software... | |
| B&O wire colors Why does it matter? | |
| Solid state "backup" amp recommendation >>I can't imagine why you'd want to have a superior amp for half the year and an inferior amp the other half.<<Amen. Seems to me that a room A/C and/or whisper fans are less expensive than a sonically inferior back up sand amp. However... | |

| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 >>Well it looks like another thread run amuck with ARC bashers, what is with you people? <<Hold on Sparky. It was YOU who initiated the thread if I'm not mistaken. YOU asked for folks (not folk's by the way) who have had experience wit... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 >>If you are wanting a traditional tube sound, the MK2's may not be the one.<<Therein lies the crux of ARC's problem. They do not sound like tubes. As the gentleman said, terminally vapid, dry, and boring. Perhaps your speakers work we... | |
| Acoustic Zen vs. Nordost Nordost cables and Valhalla in particular impart an edgy or grainy character I find fatiguing. I don't want to hear all of the resolution and revealing crap espoused by Nordost advocates who use these cables as tone controls to ameliorate other de... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 >>"Terminally vapid" Boring, dull, etc.<<Characteristic of all ARC products. | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 Heard both but not at the same time. Slam dunk for the Calypso. | |
| I'm Stuck, MMF9 vs. MMF7 vs. Scout vs. Space deck Dollar for dollar it's tough to beat the 7 and/or 9. The arms are not "junk" but at the same time will not track more expensive cartridges very well. The Dynavector may work in the Project arm but the Shelter won't. The JMW-9 is not much of an imp... |
