ARC LS 25 Mk 11 Bypass
"I am telling you for a fact, that with the LS25MK2 in home theater bypass mode, it does change the sound from your ht processor and not in a positive way."What I don't understand is how you make that comment inasmuch as you need to use the throug...

I respectfully disagree. 
ARC LS 25 Mk 11 Bypass
Simply put, it is a theater throughpass and the volume is controlled by your pre-pro. There is no sonic improvement. What you are doing is using your processor's left and right front channel outs into the processor (bypass) left and right inputs o...

"on the part of both a buyer willing to pay it, and a seller charging for it."That's what makes this country so great. Basic economics...whatever the market commands. 
What happened to all the tube amps?
Raquelwe do agree.I have owned many (and I mean MANY) high end amps over the past 34 years but never one IMO as good as the ML 2.1. As much as I want to hear the ML 3 I have no intention on switching...too many other things I need more

" Just focusing on sound quality alone, no way is the premium justified compared to the sound one can get from a darTZeel or CAT's best amps (or Atma-Sphere's best amps, etc.) in the right system"and what makes you so sure about that?I would certa...

Answer is very simple...once you've owned a "great tube amp" there is never a need to sell it as you have reached audio nirvana.

"The Ref 3 and the LS25 MKII do the same function. They provide a "pass thru" for the signal from your HT processor. I've been running mine for over two years without a problem. That's the whole reason for having the bypass circuit is to allow the...

"The most improtant factor sonically here would be the quality of interconnects that is used between HT pre/pro to LS-25 and a pair from LS-25 to amp. Use good cables and you will sacrifice nothing."as much as I am a cable tweak, I again respectfu...

"When running home theater through a 2 channel analog preamp, most preamps, including the ARC ls25mk2, will be processing to some minor degree the signal and thus degrade it"Absolute nonsense ...it is a pass through and no degradation of the signa...

"I'm all for very high-end systems and have proven capable of spending a lot to get that last 3%, but spending $120k for a piece of gear is just idiotic -- think of the good that a mere half of that money could be put to use for. Seriously. Vladim...
