| Legacy audio Signature lll speakers. Oh, and to add one more thing: If you want a nice improvement in your Sig IIIs, change out the stock binding posts for the Cardas solid copper binding posts. | |
| Audio Research Reference 5 Preamp Hi, Samuel ...As long as you've compared the Ref 3 and the Ref 5 with the same power cords, who cares what cords you used? Same-o, Same-o, no?Thanks for an excellent review. I was considering upgrading my CD-7 to the CD-8 before reading your revie... | |
| Audio Research Reference 5 Preamp Not to be political or anything ... but the way the FED is counterfieting money, we had all better buy our REF-5s now, because this time next year the price will be over 15k.Anyone want to by my REF-3? :o) | |
| Audio Research Ref 110 Holy Cats! I aqree with Janeb. With an entire wall of mirrors behind your system, coupled with the tile floors and the large glass coffee table, I'm suprised you're not driven out of the room. Maybe two pairs of Holograms would be the ticket. One ... | |
| Legacy audio Signature lll speakers. Thanks for the info, Cassroy. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.As a point of interest for others out there who are curious about the Sig III tweeters, all I can say is, these tweeters are what brought me back into the fold of dynamic spe... | |
| Legacy audio Signature lll speakers. Cassroy ...On the speaker stands ... could you give a recommendation? Are you talking about something like the Maple shade footers and wood platforms?Thanks ... | |
| Legacy audio Signature lll speakers. Anyone who thinks the Legacy Sig IIIs are lacking, should check their associated equipment and room treatments. Properly set up, the Sig IIIs is an amazing speaker. One thing the speakers love are tube amps. If any of the naysayers are using, or h... | |
| Audio Research Ref 110 - Ref 3 Cable Interconect I'm using ARC's balanced interconnects between my CD-7 and Ref-3 with excellent results. I recently replaced my old custom power cords, which were much better than the stock ARC cords, for Magnan ribbon power cords. The improvement in transparancy... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 Wow! Excellent comments on the now broken-in CD8. Thanks.It doesn't surprise me at all that the break-in time is over 500 hours. My CD-7 took that long as did the Ref-3. The PH-7 didn't take as long ... but still a good 300 hours to sound it's bes... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 Microstrip ...So ... how's the CD-8 sounding now? | |
| Audio Research CD7 owners help needed Lak is correct. I had the same problem ... the tubes in the stock CD7 "drift" and need replacement. To my surprise, ARC sent the tubes free of charge.For the best results, send your player back to ARC for the "update." Its free of charge for origi... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 To continue ...I had two friends over to hear the upgraded CD-7. To say that I had to pry their jaws off of the carpet is an understatement. Both are very familiar with my system. One arrived late, and as he walked into the room and after hearing ... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 I just recieved my CD-7 back from ARC with the upgrade. Will was right on in his assessment. I only had time to listen to a few "cuts" before I had to leave, so anything I say here was with less than an hour on the player. Its operating on "repeat... | |
| Audio Research REF-110 vs. HD-220 Thanks for the responses ... much appreciated. | |
| Downsizing from Audio Research REF110 to 100.2 I wouldn't "downsize" at all. The REF 110 is a great amp, but if you want to go the SS route, what I would do is sell the REF-110 and buy a HD-220. Tons of power, great base and still the resolution and musicality of tubes that we all like ... and... |
