ARC LS25 MK II - VT 100 MK III I.C.sug

I own the LS25 MKI and the VT100 MKII. The transparent (at least Utra) and the NBS (at least Monitor III) will give the tonal richness while maintaining the extension in the treble and openess in the treble/midrange. You should audition these/every cable in your system before buying. Your system/room preference should determine the "best" for your system.

I have heard both the LS25 MKII and the VT100 MKIII. I prefer the tonal balance of both older versions with NOS 6H23 input tubes. The LS25 MKII and VT100 MKIII do not have the smooth liguidity of the older versions and tend to sound analytical in the Highs (some people characterize this as 'brightness'.) I have no intention of upgrading to the latest version of the LS25 and VT100.

I have the amp and preamp you are asking about with a Meridian 508-20 CD and Avalon Ad2055 Parametric. The whole system is wired balanced with Monster Cable Studio Pro 1000 Microphone cable. ($200 for a 15ft pair). It works very well and one does not need to spend more. This is what is used in the best studios with the best microphones. I tried more esoteric cables but most were really no better with the my equipment.

I use LS-15 and Aerius i , ( proceed hpa2 amp ) and the Transparent Ultra is everything you just asked for. Of course this is all a "taste thing" so try them out if you can. Good luck with your search.

Delphinj, where can the monster Studio Pro be purchased?
Thanks BIGBLUEBARNCLE

try tara labs air 2s I use them on my mk3 also try the tara labs power screen for amps it made a huge differance also the amp needs its own outlet .JK
