| Upgrade or sell ARC LS-15 ? Ken, Thanks again for another quick reply. I am using an ARC VT-100 Mk II pwr amp, so I can use the XLR inputs on that. I think I will pursue the LS-5 route. Thanks, Matt | |
| Upgrade or sell ARC LS-15 ? Thanks for your responses. They are quite helpful. Ken - I had not considered the LS-5 before, as I was unfamiliar with it. In researching it, I see it accepts only balanced inputs. My sources are a PH3-SE and an Arcam FMJ CD-23T cdp, both of whic... | |
| Does 1/2" make a difference at 375 Hz ? Thanks for your responses. I have not been able to find spec sheets for the 2 versions of the B139 (6171 vs SP1044), so I am assuming that they are probably similar (maybe that's a bad assumption). In any event, I'll proceed with making the adapte... | |
| Quad 988/989 Reliability Kana 813 - I was the originator of last year's thread on this subject. I ultimately purchased a pair of Innersound Eros (active) speakers, and I have never looked back. The Innersound addresses (successfully, I believe) all the "deficiencies", ... | |
| Advise Needed, Best speakers for approx $15,000 Innersound Eros, and save yourself $7K. Or, include $2k for a sub-woofer and still save $5.5k, which will pay for more than half a pair of Wolcott's or Manley Neo-Classic amps. | |
| Manley vs Wolcott for Innersound Eros Thanks for your inputs. I will contact Albert Porter to see if he has compared Manley vs Wolcott with.Duke, Why is the EL34 considered a better choice than the 6550 ? Just curious. | |
| which is better amp for electrostat speakers I am currently using Innersound Eros Mk II (active) with an Audio Research VT100 Mk II. It sounds good, but I recently heard these speakers driven by Manley Neo-Classic 250 monobloc amps. I must say the sound was "awesome". I strongly recommend yo... | |
| Who offers full remote functions in a tube pre Audio Research LS15 - can be had used for less than $1500. | |
| How do I adjust the speed on my Linn Sondek LP 12? I had a situation similar to yours - an early 1980's LP12 w/Vahalla which was in storage for many years and turned really slow (with even slower acceleration when I turned it on). I replaced the drive belt, no help. Finally, I brought it in to "Th... | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? Green Mountain Audio - Hello Roy, nice meeting you.Where can I hear your speakers ?I live near San Jose, California.thanks,Mbonn | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Von Schweikert speakers in this discussion of time and phase coherent speakers. Anybody have any opinion on Von Schweikert speakers as they fit into this discussion? BTW, I asked Albert Von Schweikert how he achi... | |
| Would you re-furbish an old ARC SP3a-1 ? Thanks for your feedback, Rcrump and Kana813. I don't plan on selling the ARC SP3a-1, if for no other reason than sentimental value. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to invest in this refurbish project myself, but I will probably send it off t... | |
| Opinions Arcam FMJ-23 or Ayre CX-7 CD player ? I have not heard the Ayre CX-7, but I recently purchased an Arcam FMJ-23. I am very happy with it. I find it very detailed, with good frequency extension, and totally "non-fatigueing" to listen to. I heard the retail price recently went up to $249... | |
| Would you re-furbish an old ARC SP3a-1 ? PS I just re-checked the ARC web site. The price of the upgrade is $795 plus tubes. It is possible they might not even be willing to upgrade this particular unit, due to the modifications that were done. This is a "what if" question. Thanks, MBonn | |
| Comments Meridian 507 vs. Arcam 23t CD players I have not heard the Meridian, but I bought an Arcam 23t about 2 months ago. I am quite happy with it. It is very detailed, yet non-fatigueing. It is discounted somewhat at dealers ( I paid around $1900 for mine), and used ones on Audiogon go for ... |
