I have been using a Shunyata Python Alpha Helix since I first got my REF3. Exceptional results. Pick one up used. 
Audio Research VTM200 VS ARC 210's?
Hi Mantis007. My local dealer is an Audio Research dealer. Prior to the availability of the REF 210, he ran the VTM 200 in his "reference room" quite often. He has run the REF 210s in the "reference room" for the past few years. The problem with m... 
Proac Response D25 match with low power tube amp
My local dealer carries ProAc. About two weeks ago he was showing the D28 driven by the new Audio Research integrated VSi60. Very Nice! 
Audio Research Mark 1or 2, Super Tubes or rolling?
dougd1015, If you are thinking of running Martin-Logan elecrostatics, look into a VT-200 MKII amp. I've seen a few on A'gon. I would match the VT-200 and ML Vantage with a Ref 2 MKI or II and the ARC CD3. Nice system. Good luck with it.

Thanks for the posts. I am anxiously waiting for her to have a show in Dallas or Austin, TX. I will most definetly attend. Her latest CD is one of the best CDs I've heard in a long time. Outstanding interpretations of Dusty Springfield's material.... 
Audio Research Reference 110

Best Preamp for a Krell FPB ?
Hi. I owned a Krell FPB 300 and here is the pre-amp progression I went through. Started with Krell KSP-7B. Replaced with Krell KRC-HR. Replaced it with Krell KRC-3. Finally replaced with ARC LS-25 MkII. I liked the ARC LS-25 MKII driving ProAc Res... 
What are the best Audio Compnent Racks Available?
Gechta, I've had great success with Zoethecus racks. I have a four shelf rack I use for components and a seperate amp stand. The shelving is important and I use all Z-slabs. These racks provide the best isolation from vibration that I've ever expe... 
Thoughts on the Audio Research 150.2
Hasse, sorry it has taken this long to get back to you. The bass on the 300.2 is outstanding. Not as rich sounding when compared to the FPB300 but BETTER DEFINED. The Krell amps have a rich, powerful, sound. They tend to present the soundstage "in...
