| Audio Research Pre-Amp advice I have an SP20 that’s really quite nice. Sounds great, comes with a very good phono section and high quality headphone amp as well. I think they can be found for around $4,500. Highly recommend looking at the SP20. | |
| Opinions on PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (Mk 1) I got my PS Audio DSD MkI direct from PS Audio as a refurbished unit, but at about $3,400.00. They gave me a 30 day return policy, and I believe a 1 year warranty. Thought it was a good deal then, and still believe it was. It arrived in near-perf... | |
| Need a big favor picking a preamp Just for fun look at an Audio Research Ref 6. Heard it a couple times at a local dealer and it sounded just great. Was a bit above my budget, so I’m saving up to get one. | |

| What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago? I'm still using many things from the 80's....a pair of Saras ST200 Tower speakers that I got around 1986, Luxman PD-300 turntable with Signet tone arm from about 1988, recently overhauled, so the vacuum system actually works (Just added a new Lyra... | |
| KT150s in Audio Research Reference 75 (non SE) Just saw and thought I’d add my experience to the mix here.I picked up a used Ref 75 from my local ARC dealer about 2 months ago. I was told at the time that it has a lot of hours on it, and that a fresh set of tubes would be a good idea, and that... |
