| Review: Acoustat Model 2 Speaker Back in the early 80's I had a pair of Acoustat III's that I drove with an ARC Classic 60. I sold the III's and bought a pair of Acoustat IV's. Removing the grill cloths really opened things up. I still drove them with the ARC CL60 ... nice, but n... | |
| Review: Audio Research Ref-3 Tube preamp Excellent review. I'm the original owner of a REF-3 and I totally love it. Here's a tip for ARC owners of the equipment that uses the tube dampers ... Move the dampers as far up the tube as possible without the top damper coming off. Be sure that ... | |
| Review: Lyra Clavis (1992) Cartridge I have the original Clavis and like the first commentator, removed the case (which improved the sound quite a bit) and eventually had an accident. I still have the cartridge and was thinking of either sending it back for a rebuild, or using it in ... | |
| Kind Of Blue 1st pressing stereo... A number of years ago, I walked into my favorite thrift store where they had just put out the records for the day. Right there in front ... and I mean the first record, was Kind of Blue. The jacket was almost mint. As I reached in to pull the reco... | |
| Anyone into cassettes? Thrift stores are a great source of premium quality tapes ... used of course. Just make sure the tapes aren't broken, then use a tape erasure (available at Radio Shack). I use the large eraser intended for VCR tapes. As a side benefit, you can als... | |
| Has any audiophile fellows compare the sound. I have the REF 75 and it is a fantastic amp. BUT ... you haven't heard what is can really do until you change out the KT 120 tubes for KT 150's. This is a major improvement. The tubes are available from upscale audio. If you go with the 150's, you... | |
| Anyone compared Audio Research Ref 75 with Ref 250 Hmmm ... no comments. What did you decide to do? | |
| Magnepan 3.7 speakers + Audio Research Ref 75 amp I used to have a pair of Accustat IVs that I drove with an ARC Classic 60. Nice within its power range for sure. Then one night a friend brought over a pair of Van Alstine 200 watt amps with Van Alstine's bridging devise. We hooked everything up a... | |
| Audio Research REF 75 vs VAC Phi 200 I haven't heard the VAC amps in my system, but I own the REF 75. Don't judge the REF 75 until you change out the tubes for KT 150's - available from Upscale Audio. While the REF 75 is amazing with the stock KT 120's, it is in a different league wi... | |
| Anyone into cassettes? I also have the Nak BX300. I record my vinyl and play them in my Lexus which has the Mark Levinson sound system Analoge rules! Now if only the ML system in the car had tubes. | |
| Audio Technica ART9 cartridge I use a ATOC9 MKIII. I love the cartridge and its amazing on mono records too. | |
