| AR ref2 mk1 or ref 3 There is no doubt that I am partial because I own the Ref 3 but simply put I have never experienced music in such a fashion as with the Ref 3. Be prepared I am sure for the proverbial ARC Mk l, Mk ll etc upgrades but honestly right now, this is as... | |
| AR ref2 mk1 or ref 3 I own the Ref 3 and prior to that the Ref2 Mk ll. The former was a super preamp however IMO the Ref3 is in a league of its own. Simply put, it is the best preamp I have ever owned. | |
| emmlabs cdsd and dcc2 straight into wall or hydra Although I don't own the Hydra, I do own the CDSD SE and DAC6e SE. I do own Jim Weil's Line Stage from http://www.soundapplication.com and do plug both components into it which then plugs into a dedicated AC wall outlet. Sonically, my impression i... | |
| Any thoughts on Krell "I'm a big fan of their class A audio amps, but, don't think their integrateds and home theatre gear are worthy of the name. Seems a bit misleading to me. Go figure."That is because Dan D'Agostino has always been associated with power amps first a... | |
| Any thoughts on Krell ChrislaThe Meitner upgrade "IS" simply amazing and like you I have owned many ARC components, most recently the Ref 2 MK ll to the Ref 3. I have also owned literally every bit of Krell gear over the years until I went all tube. My favorites were t... | |
| Powering on/off amps with preamp trigger whenever I turn off my amps I always turn volume to zero as well as mute the preamp,When I turn on my preamp it always comes on at zero volume (ARC Ref3)The potential for blwing a driver exists if you turn off your preamp before your amp. Good spe... | |

| The current SOTA SACD player " that is just my particular viewpoint of how i think a manufacturer should conduct themselves"That was precisely my reasoning when I first made my comments in this thread | |

| The current SOTA SACD player "It does not get better than this do not really make any justice until there is an A-B test, right? After all, isnt this Audiophile hobby all about challenge? Why do you own EMM Labs? Why dont you have Zanden, dCS, Goldmund or Esoteric separat... | |
| The current SOTA SACD player "yes; he does not hide his affiliation but that does not make it right or proper. i speak only for myself.......maybe i'm not in step with other's opinions.You speak for me as well Mike. Alex has crossed the line on so many occasions when it comes... | |
| The current SOTA SACD player Alex Stop feeling so darn paranoid. If you were to conduct Aplhifi in the manner that all other reputeable manufactureres did then perhaps you would garner some degree of respect from we audiophiles. In your e-mail correspondance to me it was your... | |
| The current SOTA SACD player AlexYou need to grow up and stop feeling so darn paranoid. If you were to conduct your business in the manner that all other reputeable manufacturers do then perhaps you would garner some degree of respect from the audiophile community. In your co... | |
| The current SOTA SACD player It is unfortunate that you feel that way. I am a very happy audiophile with over 33 years in this hobby. I feel that I can therefore make observations of what I own and what I have heard. I am NOT in the employ of Ed Meitner or any other manufatur... | |
| The current SOTA SACD player AlexI can say that Ed Meitner takes the high road and doesn't lurk in the bowels of audiogon posts looking to sniff out followers of Aplhifi to hawk his wares. As always I reply to you"shame on you" |
