| Leaving my amplifier on ok? @soix, Thanks for the information. I don't believe that it is a constant temp flux, because one isn't turning on an off like a 3 year old. It is turned on and let warm up. Hence the word warm up. however, I appreciate your input and will look ... | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? First, yes, there are many older posts that discuss this topic at length. However, the OP asked a question and is requesting help, not a scolding for not reviewing prior posts. If you don't want to help, then don't answer. Second, most new com... | |
| Mark Levinson Repairs @raggah. I don't believe that you contacted George Meyer AV repair facility in Los Angeles, CA. They are an authorized Mark Levinson repair facility and a simple call would confirm this. I have had two Mark Levinson 23.5 amps repaired and one... | |
| Amplifier considerations, PrmaLuna EVO 400 versus ARC Reference 160 S. Is ARC worth it? The only way you can tell is to take each home, at the same time and do an A/B comparison in your home with your system. component and music memory is extremely faulty. I know there are some dealers that will either let you take a unit home for ... | |
| How Do Amps Affect Soundstage? Many good responses above. Anytime an electrical signal passes through an electrical component or circuit or device, it will affect the music. Be it distortion adding, soundstage, etc. The discussion regarding the amp (Audio Research REF 6) pai... | |
| Mark Levinson Repairs Again, George Myers AV is an authorized Mark Levinson Service Center. I've had a few Mark Levinson Amps repaired there. Along with Audio Research projects. They are excellent. Give them a call. enjoy | |

| Audio Research Ref 6 upgrade to 6SE. Just a suggestion. If you don't want to send a unit to Audio Research for repair/upgrades, then find an authorized Audio Research repair facility to do the work. For example, George Meyer AV in Los Angeles actually does excellent work. Their te... | |
| Amp vs Preamp which is more important? In my opinion, the pre-amp first. I would get the best pre-amp I could afford and build from there. The Amp also depends on speakers selected. So there is a back and forth involved. Hi efficient speakers don't need arc welder style amplificati... | |
| I am interested to update my 15 year old system ! In my opinion, before suggesting equipment, a lot depends on two things. 1. The sound quality you want. a. how real and detailed do you want the system (music) to sound? 2. What budget you have for this? I don't recommend replacing e... | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit Thanks for the information. The DV-09, BDP-09 are hidden gems. They sound good as CD players but make outstanding transports and are stupidly inexpensive because most people were/are using them at DVD or blue ray players and not CD transports. ... | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit @dilatante Yes, I use FLAC to rip all my CDs. However, I probably wasn't clear. My Aurender unit does not play CDs, it only rips to the internal hard drive, or to an external NAS, and plays from it or streams. My CD Transport unit is a very n... | |
| Audio Research equipment for sale. Yes, It really make no sense to sell your Audio Research gear. If it works, great. There are many authorized Audio Research repair centers around and they have spare parts or can obtain them easily. Also, I don't believe that Audio Research c... | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit I have an Aurender CD/Ripper/music server/Streamer, a very good CD Transport and a Audio Research DAC 9 DAC. Since I have lots of CD's it made sense for me to rip my Cds to the server's hard drive so I didn't have to pay to hear music streamed th... | |
| I just moved and insurance Read your policy carefully. Insurance companies do not want to cover anything if it can get away with it. so read the fine print. If it does not say it is covered, or more specifically says it is not covered without some "rider policy" then you... |
