| Acoustic Zen Adagio owners/re: amplification I am using an Arcam FMJ CD-23T (cdp), an ARC SP-3c preamp, and an ARC VT100 Mk II pwr amp. I just replaced the output tubes in the VT100. Re-set the DC balance, and re-set the bias. It's sounding great. I am always looking at what to upgrade next,... | |
| Best sounding CD Player for $3K or less used? I see the ARCAM FMJ CD36 mentioned. I have seen other posts here claiming that the CD36 is no better than the CD23T. One of those can be obtained here for about $800. | |
| McIntosh - is it that great? I have an Audio Research VT-100 Mk II, but I have toyed with the idea of selling it and getting a McIntosh MC275. Has anybody compared the two amps? I would be interested in hearing people's opinions about how these two amps would compare sonicall... | |
| 4 ohms or 8 ohms I've been told by "Chris" at ARC that the 8 ohm taps sound better on ARC VT amps. If you are concerned about the speaker impedance being too low, try raising it by using the Paul Speltz Zero auto-former. | |
| Should I replace my LP12? Forgot to add one thing. The Lingo upgrade replaced a Valhalla power supply. I had the Valhalla upgrade done in 1982. The Lingo was a HUGE improvelement over the Valhalla. | |
| Should I replace my LP12? I agree with Stringmun1. I bought mine in 1977. In 2002 I did the Lingo-II, Trampolin upgrade and I had my local dealer replace the springs and adjust the suspension. I've been listening happily ever since. The Lingo made a HUGE difference. DON'T ... | |
| What is the difference between LS & PS LS means "line stage" and SP means "Stereo Preamp" | |
| Used: Arc sp-3 vs. Adcom gfp 750 You say that you are looking for a quality "ss" preamp, but you mention the ARC sp-3, which is a tubed preamp.I have owned an sp-3 since 1974. I "upgraded" to an LS-15 about 8 years ago (but I kept the sp-3). Then, in 2003, I sent the sp-3 back to... | |
| Eric Bibb fans? Second that on "River Road". In fact, it's on my TT as I write this. | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? The Acoustic Zen Adagios are made in San Diego. I have been to the factory and seen the assembly and test operation. | |
| Is Definitive Technology still in business? Thanks, Their web site appears to be working today. I'll contact them Monday. | |
| What amp with Innersound Eros ? Thanks for all your responses. I am currently using an ARC VT100 MkII. I am not using a preamp, but rather the volume control on the crossover-amp. I do not like a bright sound, so I'm not sure the Innersound amp would work for me. Anybody tried t... | |
| Upsampling the way to go? ? Is it true that the Audio Note has no filtering ??This could not be good for amplifiers and tweeters.I thought it was a requirement that the aliasing frequencies must be filtered out of the analog output.Can anyone comment on this? | |
| Best CD Player under 2k ? Thanks for your input, Matt413575. The rest of my system is ARC LS-15 preamp, ARC VT100 Mk-II. My speakers are currently IMF Monitor Mk III (25 yrs old), but I will be replaceing them soon. My "short list" for speakers is: Triangle Celius, Living ... |
