| component cones/spikes vs. rubber "DING" the winner is, Mechans, If you use Spikes, or better, pointed brass Footers, you will have a path for vibrations to leave the componant.If you use soft rubber pucks, or similar, no vibrations will get into your componant, BUT the one`s you ... | |

| Audio Research REF 3 and REF 5 Tweaks I recently re-tubed my ARC monoblocks, the supplier had Svetlana "Winged C" 6550`s which were also "Cryo-ed" 100 hr treatment by Pearl. These tube`s made a great difference in resolution and detail.Wondering if replacing the single 6550 in the Ref... | |
| Question for ARC aficionados Read the ARC VSi60 review in this months (Sept) Stereophile by Robert Reina.He gushes all over the VSi60 saying stuff like "....cut from the same cloth as the Ref 110", and more. He can`t stop drooling over it! | |

| Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21 I agree with Rodman 99999, also Maggies are known for the ribbon tweeter with outstanding high`s, the fuses gave an obvious improvement with even more resolution way way up in frequency, that was a pleasent supprise.Len W | |
| Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21 Not Parasound but I have replaced every fuse in my ARC PH7, Ref 3 and ARC Classic (tube) monoblocks with HI-FI tuning fuses. None are ever comming out!I did not put them in all at once. I did them one at a time and moved on to the next. They even ... | |
| ARC PH7 upgrade When you find out, let me know. I am ready to send my PH7 in for the upgrade, some positive feedback would be nice, but would ARC offer an upgrade that did not show an obvious improvement? | |
