| Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110? Charles1dad, My only point is not all talented designers agree on the same principles. Obviously some talented designers do find fuses degrade performance. Customers can choose whatever they want. In your example, your friend prefers VAC so he buy... | |
| Price Increases Most buy name brands that are well established and since buying name you usually don't get much value. Well established brand names are earned over the years and one can expect a certain level of quality. I do agree it's not true in all cases. | |
| Price Increases I'm talking about transparency which might make the "math" make more sense.One drivers landed cost is $12.24 a similar unit is $250.00 this kind of discrepancy is disconnected from what possibly should be reality and when both items are cloaked un... | |
| The future of preamps If you have it in writting in your manual or other wise that your preamp will not emit Dc at all, its all good to protect my investment!Audiolabyrinth, I suggest hiring a team of lawyers to review the manual and getting it in writing. LOL!I've use... | |
| Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110? As has been pointed out, fuse protection isn't synonymous with sound degradation (this is a faulty premise). I guess ARC and Ken Stevens @CAT didn't get the memo.It's obvious ARC and Convergent don't want fuses in their design for whatever reason.... | |

| Tube preamp for SS amp I've had many many tube pre and SS amp and agree with Kyomi_audio that output impedance is an important aspect to consider in a tube preamp.You definitely have more tube rolling options with 6sn7 and 6922/e88cc but not all 6h30 situations sound li... | |
| Is Joule-Electra still in business? Jud Barber doesn't answer e-mails anymoreDidn't you make this complaint several months ago? I thought it was resolved? My advice is sell it if not happy with the support/service. | |
| The future of preamps Arthur is a man with opinions like all of us. It is strange all of the products he says are the best of the best are Coincident. Is this just a coincidence for Coincident? Highly unlikely in all honesty folks. At the minimum, it simply reflects hi... | |
| Price Increases No doubt that most manufactures 'stick it' to us customers.What manufacturer is forcing you to buy their products NOT including the government? If you don't like their products or policies, shop elsewhere. | |
| Price Increases Call me provincial, but I happen to believe in the dignity of hard work and a fair return on labor.No problem with hard work but market SHOULD determine a FAIR wage for your given skill set and talent. As always, government intervenes with politic... | |
