Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK


Here's a cheap (free) tweak for owners of ARC gear using the black tube dampeners. If you move both dampeners as far up toward the top of the tube as possible without having the top one fall off, taking care that both dampeners are solidly touching each other, you will get better dynamics, bass, mids, highs and a lower noise floor. Try it ... you'll like it.

After I made you that offer, I got to thinking that if and when I decide to upgrade to the next level in the ARC line (REF-6) I'm going to need the ARC tube rings to place back onto the REF-3 tubes. Thanks for not taking me up on the offer. :-)
Frank,

Lol, no problem.  Let me know if you need a couple more:)  I heard the LS28 is the low end version of the REF-6.  Perhaps you can get 85% of the ref6 but half the cost?

Naw ... It'll be the REF-6 if I do anything. I have to have that additional 15%. Its a curse, I know. 

Just a minute ago I as listening to the Dave Brubeck Quartet playing a live concert in Mexico City. It was like being there. I keep wondering how much more information can be gleaned from those record grooves and digital bits. More Herbie's tube dampeners will tell the story .,.. for awhile.   
Frank,

Have you ever connect your CD7 to the Ref75 directly?

Thanks for your recommendation above.  I do like traditional jazz but more into female jazz vocalist like Diana Krall, Lisa Lovbrand, Melody Gardot, Nora Jones, etc.
