| Integrated Amplifier for KEFLS50's or Bowers & Wilkins 706 S2's I think I’m going to get some ls50’s at the current 900 price and pair them with marantz pm7000n streamer amplifier for what should be a nice sounding budget office system to replace powernode2 and NHT c1 | |
| Another Analog v. Digital Thread? Not Really For $20k total budget for speakers, amp/pre, digital (let’s say just streamer and dac, not cd) and analog (tt/cart/phonostage), how much would you spend on each to get best synchrony ? Leave cables and room treatment out for now. Would this make ... | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE Definitely hope ARC steps up here and works something out! | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE Good to hear about sound quality. Not so good about customer service if true generally. | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE I don’t have your experience with ARC, as I only have one piece (DSI200 integrated). I think it is fantastic but it’s admittedly by far the highest-end amp I’ve owned so I don’t have lots to compare against in my room. I hope to one day move up th... | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE Well unless they were sold out they certainly were sitting on "inventory," even if it hadn’t been fully assembled and boxed.Here’s what I mean.Obviously each time they get an order ARC does not order one set of printed circuit boards, and doesn’t ... | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE Ironically, the rise of forums like this probably make it much less likely that companies will provide the kind of advance "heads up" you were looking for.25 years ago if a company told a customer an upgrade is coming, they only had to worry about... | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE Fair point about differences between apple and arc. Good luck | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE Obviously, tech companies are generally not going to disclose future design projects or features, even to their good customers.If I call Apple today and ask them what features will be in the next iphone or when exactly it will be released, do you ... | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE There has to be some happy medium, and I can totally understand why co’s don’t preannounce beyond a month or so having worked in various engineering companies. Look at the other extreme- ps audio. Read their forums and their ceo has been openly di... | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE i think it has probably happened to everyone at one time or another. Not uncommon not to preannounce new models in many industries. I get it, it sucks. Look at pc industry in 80s and 90s or really any time. Been there. | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE Got it. Yeah I can see why you’re unhappy. I wonder if they will work something out with you | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE Not being an apologist but how far in advance do you expect them to preannounce?It sounds like product not released yet, but announcement has been made already. So it’s a question of how far in advance, where company knows following announcement d... | |
| Cambridge Audio Azur 851N 851n owners, which streamer dacs have you directly compared the 851n against and what were results?Doc above says it’s better than LUMIN D2. Anyone ever compare 851n against bel canto e.one? Mytek? Teac? Bryston?interested in 851n for second sy... | |
| Upgrade Speaker Cables or Interconnects More will say speaker cable makes bigger difference than IC. Some will say the opposite |
