ARC LS 16 MK1 vs. ARC LS25 MKll
Changed nothing in my system when I went from mk1 to mk2. This April marks 3 yrs since that horrible mistake. All different components now. Basically that screwed me up big time. But now I finally have recovered and have music again. I could see t... 
ARC LS 16 MK1 vs. ARC LS25 MKll
I went from an LS-25mk1 to the mk2. Then back to a 25mk1. Had a sickening experience with their digital 150.2 amp and cd3 mk2. Swore off ARC for life now. Went as far as to sell the 25 mk1 even though I liked it. Now own the PSE HL-1 hybrid. All t... 
ARC LS 16 MK1 vs. ARC LS25 MKll
Sorry, but I wouldn't own/listen to an LS25 mk2 if it was given to me for free. YMMV 
Glitch with Wadia 861
I had an 860x dealer loaner. Did the same thing and had the noise too. 
Does balanced interconnect sound beter than RCA?
Some may find my reply strange. In my experience, balanced interconnects as a group lag behind their RCA equivalents. The majority of manufacurers simply solder on an xlr to their current rca terminated model. Balanced circuits send two signals do... 
Classe CA-400 Vs. BAT VK500/1000, which is better?
Well, I gravitate towards soundstaging, imaging, detail and an alive upfront sound. So my vote goes to Classe. I also have a dislike for amps that use "zero-feedback". YMMV 
classe ca-300 or bryston 4b sst for thiel 2.4
I have owned both the CA-300 and Bryston 4bsst. If you want more bass and less "bright" highs- look at different amps than these two altogether. But, I would first try driving the CA-300 with a different pre-amp than the SF. 
Anyone have opinion on PSE mkV amps?
I just purchased a second hand PSE HL-1 pre. Waiting for Dean to send me an owners manual. My amp is in for service, so I have not listened yet. I'm hoping it outperforms the ARC LS-25mk1 I sold. Rumour has it there will be a Signature upgrade to ... 
Classic Rock Listener - Help me build my system
John,I purchased a Classe CDP-1 new when it came out in 1995. Kept it for 5yrs. Wish I did not sell it. I like the sound of 1990's digital much better than the soft sounding stuff made today.Budrew,I am sorry to say- I just sold a Naim CD5/Flatcap... 
Classic Rock Listener - Help me build my system
Hi Dave,The crossovers in the Sig 3 present a wicked load to the amplifier. I experimented everyway possible with those speakers. The best results are to open up the terminal box on the back. Unscrew the leads at the bass terminal (lower) and conn... 
Classic Rock Listener - Help me build my system
Hi Sean,I am also a frequent rock listener- but have an appetite for high-end electronics. It is not easy to find a full range high-end speaker that can play rock. The Legacys have high power handling capability (high temp voice coils) And they ca... 
Classic Rock Listener - Help me build my system
I have owned a pair of Legacy signature 3's. This speaker has a very warm/sultry midrange. The bass output was always a problem- too much. And the ribbon tweeter has little power to overcome the other drivers. To get these speakers to open up: 1) ... 
Classe Cam200 or Ca201?
Hi,From what I understand- Classe is just going to introduce two new models this year. I am sure you are aware that the entire product line has been discontinued. They have been filling orders from built up inventory.Anyway, about the new amps. I ... 
Classe Cam200 or Ca201?
Interesting, did you own a DR-15 or Model Fifteen. The Model Fifteen is more dynamic-punchier than the DR-15. That little amp has some set of robust balls. Warmer though and not as detailed or as refined. You really can't compare a stereo amp to a... 
Classe Cam200 or Ca201?
Save your money and buy a used model 15. Have Classe service bring it upto spec.
