| how much of a difference should equipment make? rlwainwright speaks the truth!! If you accomplished 1,2 & 3 you are 95 % "there" in terms of real life sonic happiness. That last 5% is expensive and fussy and I have not yet found it yet either but pleased with what I have none the less. | |
| What is the best....? What an inane question. How long is a piece of string? | |
| Need advise on amp choice On a more productive note, I would definitely keep the REF110 and put some KT120's in. I can tell you from personal experience, they are great tubes. | |

| No Balanced Circuitry It means the the input/outputs are balanced but that the circuit topology is not fully differential, which would indicate a positive and negative gain stage for each channel. Twice the circuitry which is why most manufacturers don't do it. | |
| ARC Ref. 3 - New Tubes - Need help Generally speaking with ARC gear the odd numbers are right channel and evens are left. I believe what you need on this is a matched quad of 6H30 tubes. | |
| KT120 in Audio Research Pre-amp? Talk to Calvin at ARC but I believe I heard that this is one place the 6550 should remain in place and NOT use a KT120. (Love them in the VT100 amp though!) | |
