| The Problem with Synergistic Research Sabai, your'e nothing if not consistent...Like I said in the other thread: You always state your OPINION as a matter of fact that applies to all of us!Now your'e unloading on SR cables....I have NO affiliation with SR cables BUT sure find it inter... | |
| ARC's new REF-75 When I visited the ARC room with the REF 75 on Friday, I had the same basic impression as Keith. The amp was certainly not bad, OTOH it wasn't as great as I had expected. The mids seemed to me to be lacking in the midrange magic that my older D70M... | |
| 12AX7 preamp tube failure last night Hi Bill, I have a Vox Tonelab, which i think uses a similar circuit to your AD50VT and uses one 12ax7 tube. Vox uses the tube more as a tone control than anything else ( as a driver for example) in the circuit. I have rolled the tube with various ... | |
| Defunct Company Gear Value Good example of prices dropping after a Co. goes out of business are the Hales speakers that I used to own...Paul Hales closes up shop and the next day the speakers dropped in value by at least 70%! Same for numerous cable manufacturers that have ... | |
| REL T1 or T5? apples to oranges? Tigagig, I am using a T5 in my system and am very happy with it. It will need some tweaking and some patience to get it right, but once it's dialed in, I do think in a small-medium sized room it's a great piece.BTW, it will easily rattle your wind... | |
| SS or Tube for Sonus Faber Concertino? Hl10027, There are several answers to your question. If you own an amp that is NOT an integrated amp, then you will need a control unit ( preamp) to drive the amp. Integrated amps are integrated because they include the amp and the preamp in one c... | |
| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 Johnsonwu, I actually have not owned the D70mk2 for more than about 18 months. However, I am pretty enamored of this amp and would recommend it to anyone thinking of a great mid powered tube amp. BTW, I have a feeling that Dick Olsher is into good... | |
| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 Johnsonwu, good to see that you like your modded D115. I feel this way about my D70Mk2 and IMHO it's one of the best soundingARC amps. I have a feeling that this is why Dick Olsher bought one too!A stone cold classic! | |
| Jadis Da50S and Sonus Faber Acalex, I would think this would be a very good combo. Depending on the size of your room and how loud you like to listen. I drive my SF GH's with a 65 watt/ch Arc D70Mk2 and have no problem in my small room making the GH's sing. | |
| SS or Tube for Sonus Faber Concertino? IMO, a tube amp with a tube preamp would be my suggestion with the Concertino's.Depending on budget, a used ARC amp/preamp or the ARC tube integrated...the ARC VSi60. | |
| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 I was reading the new Absolute Sound today and noticed that Dick Olsher just acquired a D70Mk2.. He comments that the D70mk2 has "glorious midrange" in a review of the CJ mono amps. I totally agree with him in this statement. | |
| Rel T1/T2 ?? Don't agree with Stanwal, the T series can be very good for audio. I am currently using a T5 in my system and it's a champ, seamlessly integrating and providing a very impressive foundation. In a very small room, like the one I use, the T5 or a si... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Lacee, I see you owned Stacked Quad 57's. I never owned these, but I remember fondly the first time I heard a pair, they were simply amazing. What did you replace them with and why? | |
| My system's high frequencies hurt my ears Robpriore, I think you have a simple problem which is caused by the Nordost Blue Heaven and a hard dome speaker. At the best of times, whenever I have heard Blue Heaven it has a bright coloration that is very obvious when you listen to some of the... | |
| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 Hifikeek1 and Johnsonwu, IF you had an unlimited budget for cap replacement, which caps would you use in the D70 or the D115? and why? |
