| The New Audio Research Reference 6 Wow! It looks to me as if Whole Foods had a load of sour grapes to get rid of. Taters ... as one of those "aging clientele," I can assure you, I don't need hearing aids. I laughed at your comment though. You're a funny guy ... I appreciate that.I ... | |

| Something new from ARC Bruce ...Here's the conclusion I've garnered from a realiable source:The Ref-6 challenges the REF-10 in some important areas. While the soundstage width and depth aren't quite as good as the Ref-10, the REF-6 has the advantage in musicality, tonal... | |
| Something new from ARC Mow? You mean like what one would do with a lawn? Wow? As in holy crapolla? | |
| The New Audio Research Reference 6 It kind of looks retro in a modern way if that's possible. It reminds me of a modern SP-3. I like it a lot. From what I understand, the REF-6 gives the two chassis REF-10 a real run for its money, and is better in some ways ... and at less than ha... | |
| "All Things Must Pass"-Tower Records Documentary The Sunset store had a wonderful catalog of great jazz and classical records. It was about an hour trek down the I-5 for me.The Topanga Canyon store was really good too but not as good as Sunset. Amoeba is the same distance and a real trip in more... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Told ya. And lest we forget ... we have member "Pani" to thank for the original suggestion and pushing us toward the ART-9. And just as a side note ... if you have a belt driven turntable, go here: www.originlive.com and order one of their custom ... | |
| Best High End Audio Manufacturer??? The best audio manufacturer? It has to be Sony. After all ... wasn't it Sony that graced the planet with "Perfect Sound Forever?"And my vote for the state with the largest number of the best audio manufacturers? Without a doubt ... Minnesota. ARC,... | |
| Exotic Reissue Lps VS. Rare orig Which one? $$=$$ For those of you who are looking for great Mercury Living Presence sound and performances and don't want to foot the bill for expensive originals or reissues, try the Philips reissues in the "Golden Imports" series. Most of the Mercury catalogue w... | |
| Audio Research Classic 30 vs VS55 I've owned a Classic 60 for years. Its a great sounding amp. The CL 30 is the half powered version of the CL 60. Many folks who have compared the two say that the CL-30 is a more musical, sweeter sounding amp. If I were you Maurip, I'd keep the CL... | |
| Anyone Compared ARC Ref 75SE and 75 With KT150 Bdp24 ...I had friends who used to live in Palm Desert. When visiting them in the summer it was a constant round trip... from the air conditioned house to the pool. Then from the pool to the air conditioned house. My friend was a lineman for Ediso... | |
| Anyone Compared ARC Ref 75SE and 75 With KT150 Veerapaneni ...I've always considered that easy to drive speakers are the way to go. I'm presently using a pair of Legacy Signature III's ... 93db. The REF-75SE just coasts driving these speakers. In fact, the meters hardly move no matter what I'm... | |

| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... DodgealumThe ART-9 will sound better than your OC-9 right out of the box. With that said, you won't begin to hear what the cartridge is capable of for about 40-50 hours. At that point, you'll be full of Oh's and Ah's ... but that's nothing compare... | |
| Audio Research Ref 10 REF-10 ... I've lusted after that preamp ever since I experienced audio nirvana in Randy Cooley's room (Optimal Enchantment) three years ago at the Newport Show. If I were you, I'd call ARC's tech support and ask them. You'll get the straight skin... |
