| More Tubes = Better Sound Could one take away from this that with the Ref 75 and klipsch speakers, clipping the amp is very unlikely? | |
| Audio Research Corporation ARC Reference 600 I am leaning heavily towards a REF 75. How could you go wrong? I just though separates were considered better than a one box deal. But throughout this thread, the REF 75 seems to be so loved. It's always nice buying something that you know you'd h... | |
| Audio Research Corporation ARC Reference 600 You guys are awesome. I am gathering that a ref stereo 75 is better than monos? Or are you referring to two stereo 75's as mono blocks? | |
| Audio Research Corporation ARC Reference 600 I am thinking about VTL MB 450 amps as well. It seems like ARC has more fans then VTL. Is there anyone who would choose VTL MB 450's over the ARC 300's? | |
| Audio Research Corporation ARC Reference 600 Does anyone have any opinion about manley amps? The neo-classic 250's or 500's? Do they measure up to ARC, or VTL? | |
| Audio Research Corporation ARC Reference 600 So I guess nobody has anything good to say about the ref 600's. even at a price under $8000.00 with stands, shipped. They will need new tubes though. Can I just put tubes in myself, or do I have to have a professional do it? | |
| Audio Research Corporation ARC Reference 600 I use Klipsch KLF 30 speakers. It's not about needing the power, it's more about the paraphernalia of it all. Like hot rods or muscle cars, sure, you may not "need" 600 horsepower in a 65 Mercury Conet Caliente. LolI had a pair of VTL MB 750. Mayb... | |
| Audio Research Corporation ARC Reference 600 So that's two for negative. I appreciate your input! Thank you. | |
| Whats better than VTL 450 for the money? I have klipsch klf30's right now, and those aren't even high end. I want some speakers that warrent me having all of that power. I need some rather inefficiant speakers. I run a shigaraki trans and dac and a hovland hp-100. What do you guys run w/... | |
| Should I buy a Phono Stage from Hovland $1700 ? Thanks guys. I won't do anything at this point because I know nothing about this stuff./ I have just a $300 Music Hall MMF 2.5 I believe. I just wanted to be able to plae the darned thing. I think I would rather have a seperate piece anyway becaus... | |
| Anyone's opinion about VTL amps? I am currently using a pair of MB 750's and they are great. I think I may be done buying amps. I love these things, and at $8000.00 a pair used, I have 800 tube watts and they are cosmetically beautiful also. The same wattage would cost you almost... | |
| Which CD Player? Talk Electronics or Shigaraki? I'm on a $3,000 budget. I think the best money can be spent on a DAC. I have an optical output on my TASCAM CD player. Maybe a transport is not the most important thing to spend my money on? In other words should I spend all $3,000 on a DAC and ge... |
