| Best PreAmp with HT pass-thru? Supakit, I dont get any noise in music mode? Do you own the SE version? I auditioned the Ref II, MKII that has the 6H30 tubes like the Bat SE stuff but I dont remember if I used the passthrough or not. Thanks for the feedback.....Vader | |
| Best PreAmp with HT pass-thru? All of the Big boys offer this feature now: Audio research, Krell, Mark Levinson, Classe. What ever your taste is, go for it. I do have to say I own the Audio Research Ref II and experience a little crackling noise when put in the processor input.... | |
| transport for my cal alpha 24/96 dac Yes you will need a DVD transport, be carefull, not all pass a tue 24/96 signal. My theta carman does but is a little on the pricy side......good luck Vader | |
| Combinations that exceeded your expectations? Krell,Thiel,Audio Research and MIT.......WOW!Took a long time to get here, but now the quest is over. | |
| Arc Ref 2, Mk1 v. Mk II Jtinn is right on with his eval, however this is exactly the same description I gave. Notice the "to me, in my system" phrase. I dig the mid bass bloom which I also mention. This to me is what I never had before. I always used only solid state gea... | |
| Krell , Martin Logans Mark Levinson? Lev, congrats on your purchase of the Krell. Give it time before you make any hasty decisions. These monsters need a good 30 days of constant signal to break in. A full 90 days to hear 100%. MIT and trtansparents seem to be the best fit in my syst... | |
| Interconnects for CAL-10 What is your system comprised of? | |
| Please help me choose CD isolation BDR cones, #3 for solid state components. You will need three at about $30.00 each. (Black diamond Racing) These things rock! Good luck!......Vader | |
| Arc Ref 2, Mk1 v. Mk II Wow! I am going through this right now. Yes i have compared the two. In my system, Krell fpb-300 amp and Thiel speakers I had a chance to audition these when my preamp was in for service. I bought the loaner and told them to keep my old one. The M... | |

| Help Wanna Buy Amp Tomorrow : ARC VS BAT If you want great sound from tubes (not great tube sound)and budget is not a concern then go with ARC ref2 mkII and the ARC ref 600 mkII amps. This should stand up to anything out there.......good luck! | |
| Help for a "NEW" tube owner Thanks for all the help! I think I will upgrade to the MKII. | |
| Biggest bucks = Satifaction? Hmmmmm... This year I upgraded to all Krell: FPB300, KRC-HR, and a KAV1500 for my H/T. It was very expensive and very satisfying! I replaced all Classe equipment: CA300, CP-60 preamp. It forced me to upgade the other components as well. | |
| cable advice theta gen5a to spectral pre MIT!!! Get the new oracle series if you can, otherwise look for the MI-350 series. Look to contact Joe Abrams, he lists MIT items for sale here everyday. He is an honest, experienced and helpful man with whom I've done business with through this w... | |
