| Review: Audio Research Corporation HD 220 Amplifier Dave: Any idea what the peak current output is for the HD220? The ARC site does not give this specification. The 150.2 can deliver 15amps peak current before shut down. I'm guessing the HD220 is about double that figure but would be interested in ... | |
| Review: Audio Research Corporation HD 220 Amplifier Dave:Thanks for all the time you've spent sharing info about the HD220. I'm a 150.2 user at the moment with an SP16. Before the 150.2 I had a 100.2 but it ran too warm in my in cabinet installation. The cabinet is open in the back and in the front... | |

| Speaker Cable Suggestion I would suggest cables from Empirical Design. I ran Ridge Street Pioma!, Wireworld Polaris and, for a long while, Audience Au24 and found the ED cables to be superior in every respect. Detail without being tipped up or harsh. Holographic imaging a... | |
| Harbeth vs. Tyler Drubin: I have to agree--I've never seriously considered the Tyler's because it seems like Ty either stuffs the same drivers into different size boxes or, as you say, rotates different drivers into the same boxes with what seems to be little regar... | |
| Am I going crazy or? If I could get "X" dollars for my whatever I'd sell. Otherwise it's not worth giving up my whatever for cash that may be used to purchase "Y" component. There may be someone out there willing to pay "X" and, if so, great. If not, that's OK too sin... | |

| Report on Harbeths vs. Vandersteens Thanks for sharing your impressions--I think you have made a move that many others might (and should) consider. I agree with most of what you say here but would add that the Harbeth's are far superior to the Vandy's in the QUALITY of the bass resp... | |
| Audiogon speaker wire gurus, please help me Tcheathertree:Here is a review of some Empirical Design cables I ran up against the Au-24. You might be interested in how they performed in my system versus the Audience wires. A great value and utterly fantastic sound.Here is the link:http://foru... | |
| Sumiko Blackbird or Dynavector 20x for VPI? In discussing my cartridge options with the folks at VPI they emphatically endorsed the Dynavector over all other choices in my price range, indicating that the cartridge weight, compliance, etc. were perfectly suited to the Scout series. I went w... | |

| AR SP16 Question...... Chadnliz:I had the same problem with 87db efficient Harbeth Compact 7's. It only got worse when I went to 96db efficient Daedalus DA-1's. This was only a problem with high output sources like my CD player--not really an issue with my medium output... | |
| where to get vpi scout antiskating Don't bother. It doesn't work as advertised and actually creates more problems than it solves. I had one, struggled to get it to work properly for a month and then took it off. There are threads about this item if you want to read some more views. | |
| Audience Au-24 vs. Empirical Design Cable Review I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts after trying a pair of the interconnects. Hope you enjoy them and please return to the thread when you have had a chance to listen after breaking them in. | |
| Audience Au-24 vs. Empirical Design Cable Review Mrtennis:I'll do my best here bearing in mind that sometimes we audiophiles have different ways (and use different words) to communicate what we hear in our systems. I'm reminded of a recent thread on the subject of the "transparency" of a given s... |
