| Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC A Kitsune Holo KTE DAC, Level 2 or 3 would do just fine.As people upgrade to the Holo Mays, they are available in your price range. | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @verdantaudio Thanks for the recommendations with explanations. | |

| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @verdantaudio-Following your DAC shootout with great interest. Which of the DACS would you match with ARC REF 75 and REF5SE?TIA!David | |
| Ayre Codex (former) Owners, what did you move on to? Still have my Codex. Agree about the wonky control button. I moved onto a Holo Springs ladder DAC. | |
| Audio Research I/50 For someone who owns ARC separates and is downsizing, it's interesting. Anyone notice the signal tubes are 6922's. Wonder why? This gives the owner an opportunity to voice the unit to their tastes. | |
| What is the future for Proac Speakers ? Late to the thread---Stewart Tyler has passed. RIP and thanks for countless hours of listening enjoyment | |
| Jaw Dropping Improvement? Ayre Codex-improved bass and larger soundstage. On the used market you can get one for under 1K. | |
| Looking for a Tube preamp with Tube Rectifier stage <= $/£/€ 3000 @gkg2k-What do you want the tube rectifier to do for you? You are getting a lot of advice, both for and against. | |

| Trade off? New vs used Agree with arcguy. John and his associates are the best. | |
| Quicksilver Mid Mono - power matching Vandersteen and Quicksilver mate well. | |
| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. @carey1110 -I heard the REF 6. It's fantastic. It has the great qualities of the REF5SE and deeper bass, higher top end (without the harshness) and incredible imaging and spatial placement. It's also $$$$, soalas I will wait. | |
| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. @audiogabby -it's "in the shop." I am currently using an older Onkyo integrated until it gets repaired. I bought the Onkyo just before the birth of my now 25 year old son. It's been in storage. Sound fromthe Onkyo not bad. Interestingly, I really ... |
