| Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s? Thanks everyone for the input and well reasoned arguments. See, the thing I noticed when I bought the Passes was a transparency that I didn't seem to recall from the Krell 700cx I had. With the Krell I think to recall a more relaxed sound, the Pas... | |
| Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s? Thanks everyone for the answers. Keep wondering one thing though. Would a pair of 501's be a better choice than a pair of MC1000's? No match for the 1201's, that much I can make out of the written opinions, but what would you choose? A pair of the... | |
| Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s? Thank you Phil. Do I read you correctly if I sort of conclude from your words that it'd be better to get a pair of 501s than a pair of mc1000's? Or would you just reduce the choice to the 1201's against the 1000's in wich case the 1201 wins hands ... | |
| Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s? Are there any owners here of MC1000s? I'm about to buy a pair of these or (if I can find it) a pair of 1201s. Parting with a pair of Pass X600's. My question is> what (other than power) differences could anyone expect? Are there any specific is... | |
| Wich one if any at all? Allright! Thanks again!brgds, Marcelo | |
| Wich one if any at all? Allright! thanks CytoCycle, one more deletion from the list. Down to the 6...have one on sight, but there is a transport Wadia 20 for about the same $ and maybe it is a better deal?brgds, marcelo | |
| Wich one if any at all? Nobody has/had any of these? I'm about to buy one, must choose between a 6 or a 21...no comments?brgds, Marcelo | |
| Wich one if any at all? Sure, I should have been more precise. I understand your point. rephrasing to "wich one if I were to buy any of these at all?". brgds, marcelo | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Hi Doc!yes, you can go back to the 6L6GC even after installing the bypass caps.These mods are not related to each other. Matter of fact, the caps are the ones that provides some improvement that can be measured but probably not heard (or barely). ... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions btw, the right tube to use, according to ARC itself, is the Winged "C" (SED) 6550 C. Same as the ones they currently use.brg,ds marcelo | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Ok, I talked to ARC just now. All is clear to me and confirms what Oneobgin said all along.1) Tube swapping> only the one 6L6GC is swapped in favour of a 6550C (Svetlana made). Not the 6H30 on the output section but the rectifier on the power s... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Has OneObGin confirmed that this is factory made? I checked ARC and the ARCDB (better source than ARC itself) and there is no mention about it. BTW, the 6550C & 6550EH are Power Triodes, used by ARC on their power amps, the 6H30 & 6922 are... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Guido, I have not heard about the xchange tubes! What´s all about? 6550 seems a step backwards from the 6H30P? WHo's doing/offering the upgrade? AR? I'm checking right away.Also, you mention that you had to raise the volume to 7. You mean 70 right... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Hi all, Hi Guido! I missed this post, sorry!Well, I've lived with the REF3 now for a while, and can only confirm what I initially sensed, it is a great linestage, detailed, open and rich. If I were to find a weak point, it would only be the input ... | |
| High output DAC? Thanks Rja, I wonder how high the Wadia goes? And the Audio Aero? Anyhow, I just bought a Theta ProBasic IIIa from a fellow A'goner (thanks RRoss!). Will get it here by the end of the week (USPS provided) and will update the results/changes agains... |
