| High output DAC? Thanks JazzDude, my problem started the minute I changed the LS25MK2 for the Reference 3. That is, volume control "problem". Awfully low gain the Ref3 has, however, I could swear that the LS25, inspite of having a +18db gain (6db more than the REF... | |
| High output DAC? Thank you all for the information. If everything goes well, I'll be buying a Theta Pro Basic IIIa. I'll keep you'll posted.Brgds from sunny and warm (hot, rather) SpainMarcelo | |
| High output DAC? Great Guys! Thank you for the speedy feedback on this and the suggestions. I'd say that it matches what Q007 says about the Theta with what I experienced. However, I think (not sure) the version 1 hadn't balanced out, and even the v.II were not al... | |
| Graham Slee GSP Era Gold Mk. V - anyone have it??? I have it since late last year, and have tried it against a Linn Linto, it was game for the GSP, I tried it with a Shure V15 XMv without the elevator, and then with the VDH Frog Gold (0.65mV) with elevator and with the last one I bought, the Colib... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Hi all, I´ve just unpacked my REF 3, finally home! Right out of the box, dead cold, hand to hand with the LS25MKII, it was a revelation in terms of sheer bass response without loosing the top end. After 2 hours continuos operation, suddenly it cha... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Hey, thanks Brian! That was nice! will look around. brgs, marcelo | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions arrghhhh....just learned today that the Ref3 AND the Krell were not shipped yet from the factory...this means minimum another week or so. I have not the details as for why the delay, but could imagine neither ARC nor Krell had a 240v unit ready to... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Hard to know at this stage, I doubt many (if any) have had the chance to listen to either one.However, I´ve had the KCT at home and was sent back, in my system, I liked a lot better the AR.Anyhow, 35k$ would probably result in 50k$ in Europe...out... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Expected delivery at my place is late this week (maybe as late as friday or even saturday) but this will be confirmed to me tomorrow or tuesday.Word is that both units should be in Spain by now.... I can't wait, I´ve been going around in circles t... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Hi Guido, mi knowledge is also very very limited, here I am, talking about impedances and gains while I have not really a clue how this 2 work toghether...Anyway, I will be using the REF3 with a FPB700cx that I ordered to arrive toghether, and I c... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Hi Jeff, thanks for the clarification. Currently, I have my LS25MK2 mated to a Krell FPB300c. The new Ref 3 will be mated with the 700cx, so I guess it will be no trouble matching those 2? The specs for the REF3 are:freq. response: 0.2 Hz to 200 K... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions I ordered a new REF 2 just before the new year, matter of fact, I didn´t know (neither my local shop) that the REF 3 was available, so originally I ordered a REF 2 and only early this week, when the shipment was suppoused to leave the States, we f... | |
| SME 345 Thanks for your kind advice! I believe I´ll stick to the Oracle-dedicated design from SME, one should think the Oracle guys would know better than having a mediocre arm bear their own name, so I should conclude the 345 will be "the" arm for the De... | |
| phono pre-amp question The new German made T+A TT includes, as an option, a phono preamp., and SME 2 arm and a Benz cart. Could find the details but must do it later tonight.brgds, Marcelo | |
| SME 345 Thanks for the replies!! What a great learning source this place is, unbelievable!I guess then it is a good purchase after all? I own an Oracle Delphi MKV but never heard of this option when I ordered, I went instead for the OL1 that was offered a... |
