^^^ Allan ...The Black fuses are a significant improvement over the Reds. I had my entire system completed with the Reds when the Blacks hit the market. I now have the system completed with the Blacks. There is no way I would want to go back to th...

folkfreak ...Wow! That's a lot of tube dampeners. Odd, isn't it, that you're getting some real improvement from dampening so many tubes and yet in Allan system, he's getting over dampening as a result. Allan ...I think its possible to over-damp wi...

^^^ czarivey ...I made it a point a couple of years ago to finally wade myself through the tome "The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich."  One of the things that was brought forth in the book was the Nazi's love of Wagner operas. Wagner's influence ...

Well, lets go back at least 50 years ago:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnOLgcH5oWw&list=RDlnOLgcH5oWw#t=27The first album ... actually it wasn't an album, it was a single record at 78 rpm. that's all we had. Fifty cents each  It came out in ... 
Recommend a cartridge for the new Technics 1200
See if the Audio Technica ART-9 is compatible with your arm. Its a great cartridge for $1100 from LP Tunes.  It performs WAY above its price point. Several members here, including myself, are using it ... and to a man, we love it. http://www.lptun... 
How Do Left & Right Brains Like AT ART9 vs Dynavectors 17D3, XX2, XX2mkII vs Ortofons
I found my last cartridge ... The ART-9. It never calls attention to itself. It simply disappears and just plays music. Very natural on those cellos too.  
Speakers choices for AR REF-5/75s
Wharfy ...Here's two excellent speakers that go well with your ARC equipment. Very efficient at 94db. Your amp will just be coasting. Both are well within your budget on the used market. Here's the speaker I've used for years now.  I love 'em. htt...

Nope, never tried that. I see you like the modern female jazz singers. I have all of Diana Krall's CD's. Most of my audiophile friends don't care for her, or her recordings. Too processed and too much digital reverb to suit their tastes. I like he...

By the way, Allan ... this is the Brubeck CD I referred to in the above post:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Buried-Treasures-Recorded-Live-in-Mexico-City-Paul-Desmond-Dave-Brubeck-Quar...If you like Brubeck, Desmond and Morello ... buy this one. Frank

Allan ...Naw ... It'll be the REF-6 if I do anything. I have to have that additional 15%. Its a curse, I know. Just a minute ago I as listening to the Dave Brubeck Quartet playing a live concert in Mexico City. It was like being there. I keep wond... 
Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK
Allan ...After I made you that offer, I got to thinking that if and when I decide to upgrade to the next level in the ARC line (REF-6) I'm going to need the ARC tube rings to place back onto the REF-3 tubes. Thanks for not taking me up on the offe... 
Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK
Allan ...I don't have a clue. Honest.  However, I am getting such a natural musical presentation from the Herbie's tube dampeners by themselves, that I have no compulsion to try the ARC rings in combination with the Herbie dampeners. My audiophile...
