Very impressed with your results from AR. When I was looking for a new amp recently I was impressed with Bryston and Mcintosh, not only for the physical qualities of their products but for their practices. Bryston publishes the schematic for their amps on their web site. Mcintosh will sell you a full set of schematics and a parts list as a service manual for what amounts to little more than the cost of printing. I thus had a chance to study the schematics and make a more informed decision. I ended up with a Mcintosh but I also thought the Bryston amps were well designed and a nice quality product. It certainly says something for the company when they make the technical aspects of their equipment readily available. I prefer solid state equipment but if I ever decide to add a tube amp or preamp, your experience with AR will certainly give me a starting bias in favor of AR. There is no better advertisment. Glad I stopped to read this thread, one of the few times that I actually learned something of value from reading a thread.
