| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs McIntosh Mc601 I haven't heard the MacIntosh gear but I can tell you that I traded Audio Research separates for the original Diablo to drive my Wilson Audio Sashas , I had no complaint with the ARC gear , in fact it was a decision I did not take quickly but I fo... | |
| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? Back in the 1980's , when I first started buying ARC gear , there wasn't the plethoria of options there are now , you had the SP8 & SP10 for preamps and 3 or 4 power amps and that was it . In 1983 the Australian dollar retail for an SP8 was $3... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz @riawry , ' I still think the biggest change so far was when I added my first CT-1 interconnect, but all make a big improvement ' , curiously , I agree . As I go ' up the chain ' , the differences are definitely noticeable but I still keep thinkin... | |

| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I just read the review of the Phasure Dac and while it sounds good I must admit I'm getting a bit old to start again with yet another music source , I also think its ironic that as we get on in years and can afford to get better and better equipme... | |

Presently I'm using a Furutech Ag 12 R4 between tonearm and phono stage and a 2 metre Ct1 between phono stage a... | |

| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz May I ask which cable elevators you guys ( & gals ? ) are using with your H F cables ? | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Jmcgrogan2 , I have been unable to try CT1's between amp and pre as my power amp is balanced inputs only , however , I did find a big difference when using it on my cd player and phono stage , some have said that the best improvements are gained b... | |
