| Audio Research Ref 6 SE Good luck 9rw. I agree wholeheartedly with you and hope ARC works it out. The same thing happened to me years ago. I bought a PH5 and the PH6 came out less than a month later, unbeknownst to me.Like you I made a significant investment with my d... | |
| GT Audio Works at Capital AudioFest 2019 Great sounding speakers - always top of the heap at CAF. | |
| New Old Thiel CS6 Speakers--Too Harsh Not sure about the Kappa's and how they sound but I can tell you having owned Thiels for 20 years they are great speakers. I am using CS6 in my system and also own a pair of 3.6's. You have some great speakers and to get the most out of them, li... | |
| McIntosh MC 1.25 KW stereo5 and pops,Correction:He very clearly stated in one of his posts about two weeks ago that the brand as a whole is mid-fi. I only visited that thread briefly but I did see a pic of his room. Don't mean to be harsh but his room is mid-fi not ... | |
| Cartridge Set Up Essentials Good suggestions above and most of all patience, plenty of time and no distractions. The more you do it the better you get.Fremer's video is good. The late A.J. Conti provides a setup video with his tonearms that is very informative. His theori... | |

| ART7 vs. ART9 vs. OC9X-series vs. Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star dodgealum just read your review from 2017 - terrific! Have become a fan of Sound-Smith cartridges and your description is representative to a house sound I've noticed - reminds me of the Strain Gauge and Hyperion I heard at CAF this year. | |
| Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly! Soix the JA perspectives were outstanding. He had them set up on the long wall of a very small room so it was definitely a nearfield listen.Not sure about the electronics he used but his speakers sounded great as always, for me at least - I love ... | |
| Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly! Glad I could help out tomic601. | |
| Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly! GT Audioworks were my favorite speaker last year. I dropped by early on Friday and one of the Pass Labs mono's was not working and he was using a different amp. Compromised his sound a bit. Sounds like he got it together but I never got back th... | |

ThanksPeter was using 2 tables made by a friend of his I believe in Germany, the arms were his, a collaboration with Reed. The amp ... | |
| Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly! I thought the Devore/Luxman room was underwhelming, I think it had to be the room. The system was displayed in a ballroom.VPI's new statement piece Vanquish was very interesting driven by Krell electronics, wired with Nordost. I think the Kef Mu... | |
