Has anyone heard the Ref 3?
Actually I have heard them. I had the Lamm L2 in my system and even though I own Lamm L 2.1's and figured that there would be an obvious synergy the preamp was cold, dark and sterile. The Ref 3 eclipsed it by miles. One of my closest friends owns ... 
Lamm ML 2.1 SET vs ASR Emitter II, DartZel
RB99I agree with you completely.I run my Lamm ML 2.1's with Wilson X-2's and I have personally heard no better sound ever. People told me before I bought them that my sound would be anemic and lifeless. Quite the contrary as they drive the X-2's w...

GentlemenI don't know what to believe any moreMikeI am still in the dark as to what "delicacy, liquidity and palpability" mean in describing this unit. 
Best Bargain on Wilsons: Which Model or Version?
Well I am going to play the Devil's advocate here because I have owned WP5.1,WP6, Maxx l's, X-1 Series lll and now X-2.They are all terrific speakers BUT my recommendation to get the best bang for your buck is NOT to buy any of those used but rath... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
The Maxx ll comes awefully darn close to the X-2 with much of the same technology. What I said was that the new Maxx ll bests the discontinued X-1 Grand Slamm Series lll (which I owned and found it to be a terrific speaker). For 1/3 the price of t...

What concerns me about this thread more than anything else is not the name calling between parties (which IMO is nothing other than childlike) but rather the comments made about Jeff Fritz and his not breaking in this unit before his review.Fmfrnd...

This is what I love about this hobby--one man's passion is another man's poison.I will say it again--pick your flavor because in the end it comes down to my mantra--it is all about my ears and my wallet.

OK Mike you got me--I am totally in the dark when you say the DarT pre has "liquidity, delicacy and palpability"I am a simple guy and have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Please explain what you mean. 
VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3?
GuidoTrust me when I tell you that you made the correct decision. You will love this preamp

Reference DACS: An overall perspective
TeajayI agree with you completelyUnfortunately you missed the "IMO" at the beginning of my sentence. I have said repeatedly that there are many flavors. i then went on to say that "in my opinion" there is none better than the Meitner stack. I fail...

HooperVery InterestingWhen I went through my residency in OBGYN one of my professors used to tell us that the best way to be a successful consultant is to agree with the doctors who send you patients for referral. Obviously he was talking tongue i... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
ExlibrisYou haven't even begun to tap the potential of your DCC2 without a Meitner CDSD. You are already 1/2 way there. You just need the CDSD. Your system will sound so much better with it than with the modded Philips SACD 1000. I have owned both...

"1. Yes, I own Lamms and you didn't step on my toes - that was the point of my post - I like the Lamms you like the Darts - so why does one of us have to be "wrong" or have his toes stepped on? What I guess I find silly is how people get so offend... 
Audio Research Reference CD-7
I have the ARC Ref3 preamp and IMO it is one of the best preamps availableFor this CD7 to have much of the Ref3 technology will stand it in good stead.I spoke to Marc Mickelson, Editor for http://www.soundstage.com and he heard the CD7 at CEDIA wi...
