| Power cords for Audioresearch. I use Synergistic Research Master Couplers on my ARC gear. When placed on my 100.2 there was a extreme difference over the stock cord. | |
| Audio Research LS25 Mk II vs Ref 1 I owned both the LS 25 mk2 and a Ref 2 mk1 at the same time. The LS 25 is more dynamic than the Ref, however it suffers from the bloom that makes tube equipment so special. I did do some cable swapping on the Ref 2 and it made the dynamics and res... | |
| Good value phono preamp for MM cartridge Parasound from Audio Advisorhttp://www.audioadvisor.com/store/productdetail.asp?sku=PARPPH100&product_name=PPH-100%20Compact%20Phono%20Preamp | |
| Audio Research LS25 Mk II vs Ref 1 Well, not the Ref 1, but the Ref 2 mk1 vs. the LS25 mk2. First, keep in mind the Ref 1 and Ref 2 mk1 use the traditional 6922 tubes whereas the LS 25 mk2 use the newer 6h30 tubes. They do sound completely different. The 25 mk2 is very dynamic and ... | |
| Comments please: ARC LS 25 mk 2 vs. Ref 2 mk 1 Thanks for the great responses. I have a Ref 2 mk1 on it's way. If it's a keeper, I'll have to let go of my LS25 mk2 and my LS16 mk1. I hope the Ref 2 mk1 gives me the dynamics, detail and resolution of the LS 25 mk2 and the bloom of the LS16 mk1. | |
| Plinius or Mark Levinson for Grand Pianos? I am an ARC fan and I have owned the D-130. When compared to the ARC 100.2, the D-130 sounded lifeless. Either the 100.2 is really really good, or the D-130 is really lackluster. Just my two cents.....magnepanmike | |
| ARC LS 16 MK1 vs. ARC LS25 MKll No I haven't, I'm not sure where to start. I am a little intimidated because I have read that you can use a different but, but the unit needs it's bias adjusted.Is this true? | |
| ARC LS 16 MK1 vs. ARC LS25 MKll I can understand that there are some individuals out there that just do not like ARC for some reason or another, and I respect their opinions, (that is why I started the post after all), however if the 6h30 tube is inadequate as I am detecting fro... | |
| Should I replace ARC D130 for Bryston 4B-ST? RyderI can't speak for the Bryston, but I had an ARC D130 and replaced it with a ARC 100.2 and the difference was stunning. The 100.2 is very very musical. It also gets great reviews.Just my two cents. | |
| Power Amp suggestions in $2000 range ? Audio Research 100.2! VERY musical. $3500 new, can be bought around $2000. Find reviews here: http://www.audioreview.com/Amplifiers/Audio+Research+100.2/PRD_115591_1583crx.aspxMy .02 cents also!magnepanmike | |
| Audio Research CD2:anybody had the same problems? I agree. That doesn't sound like their service department. You must have gotten someone who was having a bad day. I sent my LS16 in because a couple of the volume lights were too dim. They fixed them, and checked my tubes (just for the heck of it ... | |
| Best balanced interconnects under 350 I am currently using Synergistic Research Kaleidoscope Phase 1 balanced cables in my Audio Research/Magnepan system. They are slightly layed back and very detailed. I would give them a try. Oh yes, I happen to have an extra XLR for sale. Retail is... |
