A lower priced amp that beats the more expensive Block Audio monos.I have a feeling we ´re going to read about synergy again......🤫 Let’s not offend anybody...

MF Titan seems a bargain at around 12k used. That if someone needs that much power. Most people won’t, and a more simple design bringing more purity will be the key to very good sound.

The offended lost no time to defend the overpriced ARC. Sure, most dacs and even costly prestigious ones have poor variable output stage. DcS and Ps Audio have both pretty basic digital atténuation.But the best dacs have everything to omit the nee...

Sooner or later, it will be time to let go of the Ref10 and all extra cables attached to it ( which are just messing with signal integrity after all) . You might as well divorce from it now while it still has a very good resale value. Think future...

Like always, viber you are right on. I would even go further. Most top end system owners I know have eliminated the preamp from the chain. The best dacs , like the Lampi Pacific, can drive sota amplifiers directly.Same think with vinyl. The best d...

At it’s msrp, the Ref10 should have included a sota dac module inside it from the moment ARC put it on market... Other makers have done it...Hegel, Lyngdorf, Naim, Classe, etc.Take for example the Mac C2600. Tubes, sota ( Wadia di322 based) dac mo...

The Pacific is in a higher league, it should be much better at driving power amps.

There is a thread on another forum that explains that the ARC Ref6 pre has a very cheap ( 15$) volume pot. A buyer has had reliability redondant troubles with it. He had to replaced the pot 2 times...

Ref10 is toast. You just don’t need it anymore. Redondant tube stages. Less is more... less loss as you save 2 interconnect contacts.I always knew that preamps were not needed anymore. Viber is of the same opinion. Preamps are old story. These are...

No review yet. I know why. Because WC is hesitating between Ref10 and Lampi.Think about it guys. Which one to keep and which one to resale. Every word written will count and affect value of the one that is being put in classified. Would you buy a ...

My feeling is the Lampi is back in the box, ready to ship back. Your silence maybe point to that direction.Just a feeling. This is what I do when I evaluate gear and I’m pretty sure l am not keeping it.

I am guessing it takes him a little time to adjust to the new sound and compare with the Ref10. Richer, fuller, 3d midrange, magical midrange, dense midrange, dense highs you can touch...is what we should get as impressions of the Lampi because of...

He doesnt change fuses. He wont change tubes. I kind of agree with him about testing and comparing the gear stock without upgrades...for objective comparaison ´s sake...What I find unfortunate is that this thread used to be about what amp betters ...
