Has anyone heard FM Acoustics
17yrs from their first introduction (in '91 if I'm not mistaken), Resolution Series were the benchmark for many designers to aspire to. Having learnt a trick or two, yes I heard few 'makes' managed to come up with really great sounding products to... 
Has anyone heard FM Acoustics
As my hearing matures and got tired of playing around with equipments (28yrs--made many costly mistakes along the way), I came to realize that the FM 611 is definitely a keeper! Have been serving my home 15yrs of hassle-free musical bliss now..Wou... 
ARC REF 3 or MBL 5011 - what is better buy?
I bought my replacement set of ARC original factory supplied tubes for my Ref.3, tested and matched, for $330 nett.Have to agree with Tvad, having lived with the Ref.3 for 3yrs previously, they are good partnered with SS amp--but not the greatest.... 
What should I change
Hi Rayden, being where you are (Switzerland?) why not audition the FM Acoustics gears. No more debate as to tubes or SS sound, there'll be just you and the music! I respect and do love the AR, going back to their D115, SP10mkII, M300, SP11mkII, al...

what ARC combo- Ref 1/Ref 110 or Ref 3/VT 100 MK3?
If you are building a system then I'd say get the better, more neutral pre-amp first. Ref3 is ok.. 
Anyone permanently convert from tubes to SS?
'83-'93 ALL tubes ALL good (tried lots). '93-'07 SS amps + tube pre (numerous combos). '07-?? ALL SS-oo gooood.. Although a very long and slow transition I believed it to be a sure one! The latest were moves from a VTL 7.5 to ARC REF3 then late la... 
Any experiences with FM Acoustics Preamps
Hi Arupg, fyi top of line FM, their model 268 has a remote. And in the package, it throws in a 'superb' built-in linealiser section too! Imo, they are one of the finest, if not the BEST linestage currently available. From where I hail priced at ar...
