| AM/FM set up for office Although Music Hall once had their name on these the Sangean is the same model. It has impressive sound (better than Tivoli's) and a very good tuner,aux input & headphone jack (stereo). For the price it's a steal.www.jr.com/sangean/pe/SGN_WR2_... | |
| ARC tube amp recommendation for ProAc 1sc Several years ago I heard the ProAcs with an ARC CA-50 (essentially a VT-50 with input stage) and it was wonderful. If you're room is not too large, I can't see anyone not loving this combo. I recently heard what is considered the replacement for ... | |
| dedicated power line Neil,While your electrician is at it, you may want to have him install a more robust ground. Since he has to disconnect the service to install a new 200 amp box anyway, a better ground can make a big improvement. You should have both circuits on t... | |
| Question for Audio Research Ref 5 owners ? I've used a Nordost Valhalla and a Silent Source Signature PC with excellent results and the difference was not vast but, I've heard ARC uses Shunyata. As with all things audio what works in my system may not work as well in yours. | |

| CCR Remastered The SACD's from Acoustic Sounds are very good and still available. I recently saw a new Greatest Hits compilation which was new in 2009 which does say remastered. This disc contains the Top 40 mono versions which will sound somewhat different. I'v... | |
| Audio Research Reference 5 Preamp To my understanding there were only about 24 made from Ref 3 parts on the shelf. I believe they did some cap upgrades and a few minor tweeks. They were all gone in less than a week. | |
| Audio Research REF3 tube question clarification I agree with microstrip. In an amp,the 6550 life expectancy is around 2000 hours plus or minus but, in the power supply of the Ref-3 it's coasting and will have a much longer lifespan. My ref 3 is at 6300 hours and sounds wonderful. A swap with a ... | |
