| Which ARC? - SP8, SP9 or SP11 I have owned sp8 sp9mk11 and sp11.I would say the 8 and 11 are similar with the 11 having much better slam. the sp9mk2 is more lean and closer to a solid state sound in my opinion. I had no problem at all with any 1 unit.My choice would be the sp1... | |
| Who knows about Kharma Ceramique 1's I have not heard Vandy but,have heard Kharma1s at the Audible Difference shop in Conn. Using Thor AudioTPA30 monoblocks,and Thor lnestage. This is about as good as it gets.Kharmas and Thor are a great match.Hope that helps! | |
| Audio Research SP-9 phono vs PH-3 I have owned both peices,still have ph3,The sp9 is much brighter and machine like,compared to the ph3 which is more full bodied and easier to listen to for longer periods of time,less listener fatigue. Hope it helps. | |
| Help with Bright B&W 802H I have had a similar problem using Audioquest.Has a tendency to dryness/brightness. I would try a cardas s/cable or if you can move up to the meridian 508/24player(i have currently).this cd player is very analog like in sound! | |
| Preamp suggestion I owned threshold amp S/300 for years,worked exceptional with a audio research sp11mark2. A perfect match for around 2000grand> dont be fooled by hype! this preamp is still one great preamp,also with exc.phono stage. | |
