| Stand out phono stages I have 45 hours on my new ARC PH-8. This is a must audition piece if you're considering a phono in this price range. Fantastic! | |
| Anyone use CD tweaks The best cleaner/polish I've found is L'Art du Son ... that is until a friend came up with his own formula. He won't sell it, nor will he tell me what's in it. Also, if you go to Radio Shack and buy the VCR tape eraser for $30.00 it beats just abo... | |
| Audio Research REF 3 and REF 5 Tweaks I've tried various tweeks with my Ref-3 that normally work on other equipment, but not on ARC stuff. All of my ARC equipment )REF-3, CD-7, and PH-7 sound best by using nothing except the stock feet. The high end fuses improve the sound and using P... | |
| Audio Research service All of my experiences with ARC have been excellent. And speaking of Ruth ... think of all of the various companies you've called over the years. Has there been a better telephone voice than that which is projected Ruth? She makes me smile. | |
| Clavis Soundsmith retip Jcarr ...Thank you kindly for your excellent response to my post. You are a gentleman, and I would like to say that if it weren't for folks like you, folks like me wouldn't be enjoying the blessings of great reproduced music in our homes. Sorry th... | |
| Clavis Soundsmith retip Nrenter ... I thought I was being very kind to Jcarr. Go figure. I appreciated his input and said so. I think he designs great cartridges and said that as well. But, sometimes techies, nerds, engineers and other socially backward folks need to hav... | |
| Clavis Soundsmith retip Well Jcarr, I must say that I've taken your post with mixed feelings. On the one hand,I appreciate the pride you take in your cartridge designs ... that much is apparent. On the other hand, you come across like the inexperienced audio salesman who... | |
| Magnan and Exactpower I'm using Magnan Signature power cords for my ARC REF-3 preamp, CD-7 and PH-7. They were a major improvment over the other after market power cords (MAC) I was using. The improvment in resolution, dynamics, musicality and dementionality is amazing... | |
| Audio Research REF3 tube question clarification Yep, I'm over 5000 hours on my Ref-3 ... and still in amazement. | |
| Legacy audio Signature lll speakers. Oh, and to add one more thing: If you want a nice improvement in your Sig IIIs, change out the stock binding posts for the Cardas solid copper binding posts. | |
| Audio Research Reference 5 Preamp Hi, Samuel ...As long as you've compared the Ref 3 and the Ref 5 with the same power cords, who cares what cords you used? Same-o, Same-o, no?Thanks for an excellent review. I was considering upgrading my CD-7 to the CD-8 before reading your revie... | |
| Audio Research Reference 5 Preamp Not to be political or anything ... but the way the FED is counterfieting money, we had all better buy our REF-5s now, because this time next year the price will be over 15k.Anyone want to by my REF-3? :o) | |
| Audio Research Ref 110 Holy Cats! I aqree with Janeb. With an entire wall of mirrors behind your system, coupled with the tile floors and the large glass coffee table, I'm suprised you're not driven out of the room. Maybe two pairs of Holograms would be the ticket. One ... | |
| Legacy audio Signature lll speakers. Thanks for the info, Cassroy. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.As a point of interest for others out there who are curious about the Sig III tweeters, all I can say is, these tweeters are what brought me back into the fold of dynamic spe... | |
