4 ohm, 8 ohm or 16 ohm tap on amp for quad 57
Ralph, will there be any sonic differences in using your S-30Mk3 or the MA-60 Mk3s with Quad 57s? 
Jadis JA30 - Quad ESL63 .. 4,8 or 16ohms?
Ralph, Will Quad 57s match well with the M-60s or for that matter the M-30?The impedance of the the 57s is all over the place.

Sorry to get get slightly off the topic, but has anyone tried the JA 30s withoriginal Quads? 
preamp with two adjustable outputs??
MBL 6010D has output adjustments for left and right channels for each of 2 mainoutputs enabling you to "balance" the gain for 2 amps in a bi-amp situation. 
the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ?
Vandersteenguy, I own a CD7 and also think very highly of it. Besides the Scarlatti combo, did you compare to the 1 box Puccini? It seems used prices onthe CD7 have already dropped to the 5K level....perhaps in anticipation for theCD8.

Wsill, my CD7 also turns on when plugged in....never thought too much about itsince I rarely unplug it. Very curious to read your comments on the update. AsI previously indicated, Leonard at ARC told me the upgrade was more for stabilizing the reg...

As explained to me by Leonard(ARC customer service), the CD7receives only the PS supply upgrade, not the new DAC. I havea CD7 and feel that it has the best midrange of any digitalpiece I've heard. I preferred it to the Krell 505, AMR,Marantz 7SA1,...

Does this mean the CD7 is being discontinued? The CD7 has a "Reference" designation so it doesn't seem the CD7 and CD8 can coexist. What is the priceof the CD8? 
Mac C500 vs C1000
Has anyone actually listened to both the Mac C500 and C1000? 
Mac C500 vs C1000
The circuitry needed to allow the C1000 to be used with the solid state and tubechassis simultaneously is certainly very expensive and may be the sole expensefor the 8K differential....the C500 cannot be used in that manner, only one orthe other. ... 
Mac C500 vs C1000
Lapierre, I was told the phono sections were identical.....same specs and tubesI believe. Is there a sonic difference? There's an 8k price differential; did youfind the line stages to sound identical?
