| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. @aewarren Yes we were talking about the OP's choice in preamp, not yours. I never asked what preamp you use or really care. I am curious as to how you can make a judgment on the LA4. Have you heard it? Next month The Absolute Sound will do a revie... | |
| Some love for the Benchmark HPA4/LA4 I think the HGC is some sort of hybrid volume control but nevertheless te LA4 volume is killer.In Dec that Absolute Sound review will likely be a rave. It will be interesting to see what happens after that since the LA4 is relatively so low cost. | |

| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. @aewarren If you seriously think the Benchmark preamp is "the better choice", then that's what you should buy. I envy your lack of discrimination. A statement like that makes me think that you have never heard the LA4. I have heard some very ex... | |
| Some love for the Benchmark HPA4/LA4 With regards to cabling, I bought the Benchmark StarQuad for my DAC-2-Pre (1 foot) and Pre-2-Amp (15 or 25 feet). It sounded very good and I was thinking I should consider it for my other 3 sources too, even though the 24+ dBu StarQuad signal carr... | |
| A couple of headphone needs, I used to hate headphones until I got the Meze Empy. It is fatigue free and I can listen for hours late at night (like right now). It is however $3K. Meze also make a headphone for $300 that is supposed to be real good, 99 Classics. Supposed to so... | |
| Thiel Owners From a placement standpoint the coax is magic. I agree. I have had a few speakers with the tweeter and mid on the same driver unit and it has always made placement much easier. I am slightly off center in my seating. With my KEF LS50's (also a ... | |
| Thiel Owners I cannot play with the placement other than these minor movements. I bought the CS3.7 on the assumption that if it did not work in the office. I could eventually move them downstairs to the much larger living room. The living room is my sons play ... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks everyone for the great info provided here. It has made this problem pretty easy and fast to resolve. I have a speaker repair tech from the local high end audio store coming to my home next Tuesday. The cost is not much for 1 hour work and t... | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. Come on man. If you do not listen to music what's the point? | |
| How do I pay? There a a lot of speakers you can buy for $4K. If the person is being difficult buy something else. Especially for someone with no Feedback. This seller should jump through hoops to get a sale and some good Feedback. | |
| Keeping a Peachtree Nova 300 Cool I had the NOVA 150 and it never got hot. You may want to contact Peachtree and ask about the high temps you are seeing. I had a speaker binding issue with my unit. They gave me a brand new unit and paid return for my old unit. | |
| Thiel Owners I called Rob Gillum about the COAX installation know what needs to be done to resolve the out-of-phase issue. I have decided to use the services of a local audio store in Santa Barbara. They will send a repair tech to my home next Tuesday to do th... | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way I like a few of the Soundstage.com reviewers. The LS50 Meta is going to be reviewed on the 15th by them. I hope it is by one of the reviewers I like. | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. @clearthinker Some people need a preamp because they (like me) think the volume control on a DACs is not as good direct to amp. Yes, I have done that for years. There are also people with sources that do not have a volume control, how do you play ... |
