Audio Research VT 100 MKIII


How does this amp compared to ARC amps that followed? Is the amp worth much on the used market? How was it's reliability?

I understand the MKIII is a LOT simpler to bias, anyone have how the MKIII gets biased?"

If I remember correctly, the Vt-100 has one bias adjuster for each channel. That means you set the bias for all the tubes in a channel at the same time. You make 2 bias adjustments instead of 8.
Unless it absolutely has to be an ARC, I would get a Music Reference RM200 instead. Better design, better build.
I haven't heard a word about Music Reference in years. Is the guy still around?
