| My Audio Research experience analogluvr hopefully people considering Audio research for purchase will run in the other direction. Any company that has about 25 models in five years should scare you away. A big hint that there just after your wallet. Sorry, but you don’t k... | |
| ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28? analogluvr3Exactly. Tube design isn't exactly progressing further as the manufacturers would try to have you believe.That's not entirely true. For example, the KT-150 tube wasn't available when ARC released the D-79. Similarly, the 6H30 tube was... | |
| XLR interconnects crazyeddy... I prefer the more "positive" locking connection an XLR makesThere are locking RCA connectors, although they don't snap into place as an XLR does. | |
| My Audio Research experience thom_mackrisTake a Thöress phono stage and an ARC phono stage to your most highly recommended tube amp technician and ask them which they’d prefer to service. One of these products will outlive its maker in terms of serviceability and the other on... | |
| My Audio Research experience thom_mackris I forgot we're talking about Audio Research. They wouldn't dream of using turret board construction. The products might run the risk of being maintainable decades from now.ARC will service almost every product it has ever made ov... | |

| Do blown preamp tubes cause other issues? schubertIf you have a solid-state amp with tube pre it can take out your speakers .I have never, ever seen that happen. In the case of ARC, where I have the most experience, the preamp will go into automute at the slightest malfunction. | |
| coupling or decoupling of vinyl to/ from platter reubent... I do not have a threaded spindle, hence my curiosity about using a weight ...FYI, there are clamps that work without a threaded spindle. KAB makes one, the Record Pig is another. | |
| My Audio Research experience Let's face it: Tube amplifiers require some care and maintenance. Unless you're willing to do it yourself, you'll need the support of a good dealer and, probably, a good manufacturer, too. The OP here obviously wasn't familiar with the amp he pur... | |
