| tube rolling arc ref 1 I had a Ref 1 once and it had the stock tubes in it from Audio Research. I loved that preamp except for a mid-bass bloat sometimes that was too irritating. I got the Ref 2 Mk2 and the bloat disappeared. If not for the bloat, I prefer the Ref 1 ove... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood I just finished viewing the dvd of the movie "Stealth". The character, Dr. Keith Orbit, has what appears to be a ClearAudio Master Reference turntable and a wicked looking pair of speakers in in house. | |
| tub preamp vs ss preamp with ss amp. I run a tube preamp and solid state preamp. I switch them out every 90 days. To me, both of them have their strengths, and I am unable to make a final decison....so I keep both. Ultimately, it will come down to the sound you prefer.When I got my f... | |

| Is This Sub Powerful Enough For This Room? Eccbo...imagine no more. I recieved the Betas yesterday and hooked them up, the bass is way beyond what I could have imagined. It is otherworldly, period. | |

| Your listening chair Boa2,That suit looks like a mid-fi listening suit. A high-end hi-fi suit would have cut-outs for the ear holes. | |

| Is This Sub Powerful Enough For This Room? Eccbo....my front speakers will have prodigious bass, but I only want that for 2-channel. I don't want to grimace when they have to face the bass onslaught of the cannons in "Master and Commander" or "Gladiator". I'd rather have a speaker that's d... | |
