| Review: Audio Research Corporation HD 220 Amplifier The ref 110 is the way to go if stickin with ARC. I gave up on my ref 3 and HD220 after extended listening...ARC it appears has entered another "High Definition" over musicality phase. Remember the bleached whitish sound of yor...only over time an... | |
| Review: Krell KAV 400xi Amplifier Just wanted to post an update to my review above. The system sounds utterly amazing and reminds me of the days I would spend in my basement as a kid listening to vinyl...it is astounding!! At this point I can safely say that the system synergy out... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? Well Dgob, their are certainly definite hallmarks of "REAL" music played live. Dynamic contrasts/range and lack of distortion are a couple.

| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? How many of you have gone to some of the great concert halls around the USA or the world for that matter! 5th row Boston is full, warm, huge, detailed, airy, extended and crazy dynamic with mind blowing dimensionality...the ref 3 re-creates that e... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? Dgob, the 268 was impressive but expensive and not better than the ref 3..tubes still complete the picture better for me. Funny, FM stuff is rarely mentioned in high end circles ? | |

| Cable Costs Relative to System Just hooked up my new V2.2 Oracles...never have I experienced such a large transformation in sound quality in a system! The improvements are equal to or greater than most component changes. | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? Downunder, what is the rest of your system comprised of ? Cables ? CJ seems to be floundering lately...website is not updated, new products come and go in the blink of an eye or they never materialize at all. Balanced connections need not apply as... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? I've heard most of the preamps mentioned in this thread and have owned quite a few others. Also, I've had great results with ARC long term .... not to mention my dealer treats me very nice $$$$$$ SS can sound great on some material but tubes imbue... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? The music which resides on the media of choice for home listening should be re-created to it's fullest measure. Comparison can only be made with live music. Getting the most expression of the artists intent will follow....IMHO tubes in at least th... | |
