| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? well GuidoThankfully I have convinced you about the ARC Ref 3.Now let's get on and do some other schooling on power cords. I would like you to audition the Nordost Valhalla against your Shunyata PC's and then come on back for further discussion. I... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? well I am with Guido on this one and, although the other preamps mentioned are truly exceptional I will bet $$$ that Guido finds audio nirvana here | |
| Wilson Maxx 1 compared to Puppy 6 Hi PeterAs I told you by e-mail, my advice if you are going to upgrade is to go with the WP7 and not a Maxx l (unless you commit to doing a series ll upgrade. The WP7 bests a Maxx l but the Maxx ll is a superb speaker with much of the X-2 technolo... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? "Oneobgyn - What makes you so sure there "will always be upgrades to the REF 3"? Indeed, there will be upgrades to a point. The REF 4 will come out, then perhaps the 3 will be dead-ended like the 2 was. We shall see. I think that you answered your... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? You can be sure that there will always be upgrades to the REF3 | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Clearly the best preamp you will ever own | |
| Jadis JPS2 vs ARC REF 3 vs Aesthetics Calisto Sig "From myself I can add that ARC Ref 3 is great preamp that is not like any other previous ARC model. It had best soundstage, imaging and bass resolution I ever heard from preamp."Well I am no dealer and nothing to sell as the PITA Stan and Judy se... | |
| Tube Preamp Isolation My experience has been a tube pre-amp is least effected by footer/isolation than any other component including my SS ampI totally disagree.Have you ever had a look at the damping rings that are put on tubes because they resonate? | |
| Tube Preamp Isolation I have Aurios Pro under my ARC Ref 3 as well as all my other components including my Lamm ML 2.1's. I wouldn't have it any other way. | |
| Wilson WP7 versus X1 - Gen III and Maxx II's Not sure what you mean by Lamm. I have the ML 2.1 driving my huge X-2's. At 18 wpc I assure you that there is plenty of headroom. It is the most musical amp that I have ever owned. | |
| Wilson WP7 versus X1 - Gen III and Maxx II's The other option to consider is to buy a used pair of Maxx l's which go for $15-$20K and do the Maxx ll upgrade which can be done in the field. I believe it costs ~$5500 | |
| Wilson WP7 versus X1 - Gen III and Maxx II's I looked at photos of your room with the WP7's.If this is the room you will be using I would say that it is too small for the X-1's | |
| Wilson WP7 versus X1 - Gen III and Maxx II's BTW--your room size should be fine for the X-1's and/or the MaxxI also have a room with a vaulted ceiling which is heavily trapped but no deficiencies with the X-2's | |
| Wilson WP7 versus X1 - Gen III and Maxx II's I also have an XS but now use it only with HT and LFE. You really won't need it with the X-1 | |
| Wilson WP7 versus X1 - Gen III and Maxx II's Having owned WP 5.1's,6's MAXX series 1, X-1 series 3 and now X-2's I feel I can comment on your question. First off if you get the Series 3 X-1's at this price it should be considered BUT I must tell you that the Maxx ll is a far better speaker, ... |
