@briands78 Scott Frankland is the only person that touches my ARC Gear. Give him a Call, get in the Queue, and patiently wait. @clio09 is Correct for the Best in the Bay Area.

@atlvalet the fellow that I purchased my LS5 MKIII from lived close to ARC, and also knew someone there. I had him deliver the Unit to ARC so they could check it out at my Cost and then ARC would Ship it to me. I spoke to the Tech for the Conditi...

Hagerman Trumpet MC (12AX7 Tube Suggestions)
From Jim Hagerman the Designer; Yes you can use a 5751, but the tonality (EQ) will change.  Probably a bit darker. I will be sticking with the 12AX7.    
Hagerman Trumpet MC (12AX7 Tube Suggestions)
@mulveling I also reviewed your previous Posts on the Trumpet extensively before purchase. I was especially struck that you compared it with the Herron VTPH-2A which I also own so I wish to Thank You also. You made me look at the modern Tung-Sols...

Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
@whart Thank You for the explanation. This is all that I desired to hear that the Geman Re-Issue is Fine. Off to the Hunt. There is a typo in your rec since it should be Kahvas Jute - Wide Open. I found the LP using Wide Open solely on discogs t...
