| Audio Research Reference CD-7 I have about 300 hours on my CD-7 now. To me, it sounds like listening to an ultra high end turntable and cartridge. This was a wonderful upgrade from my CD3 MK 2. Voice, piano, strings, guitar, horns all sound very natural and involving. Quite ho... | |
| Van Alstine I used to own one of Frank's Dyna 120s. What a little sleeper that was. I really enjoyed taking it over to "certain" audiophiles homes and asking them to hook it up to get their "opinion." Boy, did that little amp turn smirks into faces of disbeli... | |
| Review: Audio Research Corporation HD 220 Amplifier Hi, Dave ...Just wanted to express my appreciation for your efforts in this thread. Prior to reading your ideas, I was leaning toward buying the Ref 110. I'm a ways off from the purchase, but I DO have the Ref 3 and the CD-7, both simply amazing p... | |
| Any experience with the Audio Research PH7? "The best Audio Research is always the next model."And that's a GOOD thing, right? I mean, if ARC stood still we wouldn't be enjoying the Ref-3, the CD-7 and other products this fine company contributes to audio mania. | |

| Lyra Helikon SL Opinions? Hi, LM ...I've had my WTT since they first came out. Over the years I've used many different cartridges, the best of which, was the Lyra Clavis. The sound was truely amazing when everything was set up right. If the Clavis was amazing with the Clav... | |
| Best female vocals on CD On Diana Krall ... Yes, she has limited range. Yes, Ella & Sarah had (especially Sarah) larger instruments. But ... But ... as far as sexyness in the phrasing, Krall has it hands down. I heard DK on FM radio (Piano Jazz) the other night and ev... | |

| Have U ever bought an LP because of the cover art? Hey, Rushton ...That's exactly what I was talking about. The older mono RCAs are just as good if not better. Kinda dark, abstract art for those who like that sort of thing ... me included. | |
| Have U ever bought an LP because of the cover art? I've bought some of the early classical recordings on RCA, Capitol, etc., just for the cover art. I love abstract art, and these really fit the bill. I've played the music inside the covers of course, and enjoy that as well. Some of these covers d... | |

| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? Solid state amps aren't my bag at all. However, I HAVE heard the little 125 WPC Goldmund mono-blocks over an extended period of time in a friend's system. They're little killers. |
