| Have you ever heard about Wingate? A friend owned a Wingate in the late 80's and into the early 90's. A very impressive amp and one that I wished I could afford at the time. Haven't heard much about them in the interim years...so I will be following this thread closely. | |
| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 Sbrown, Thanks for sharing that info on the KT120's. I was wondering about this and was going to call Arc about it. You just saved me the call, LOL. Too bad, as the KT120 is a very good tube. With decent 6550's getting a little hard to find, I'm g... | |
| Review: Audio Research D-70 mkII Tube amp LOL Johnsonwu, I suspect that they are equally as difficult to bias. My tech, whom has worked on everything from ARC to Mac to Bat etc., wasn't at all pleased with this amp's biasing. He told me that ARC had to have been out of their tiny minds if... | |
| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 'Foggy', certainly isn't a term that comes to mind when I listen to my ARC!Not sure what you are hearing, but if 'Foggy' is a factor, then I would suggest you look elsewhere in the chain for the offender. | |
| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 Johnsonwu, sorry to hear of your travails. I would say that there must be something still wrong with your D115M2 if it sounds foggy and a bit slow. Did you replace all of the tubes and check the caps? | |
| Top big-name monitors current versions . Rgs92, IF you can find a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri's, I would suggest giving them a listen. The original Hommage is my personal favorite, but the Evolutions (which I have not heard) are the latest in the line and look very promising. The Mement... | |
| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 Hi Johnsonwu, I may be misunderstanding your intent. If you are not planning on changing the circuit that is inherent in the amp, then there are no real risks that I can see. BTW, I agree with you that the circuit is superior to the Classic 120's ... | |
| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 Johnsonwu, I will be very interested in your outcome after you have modded your D115Mk2. WZ Johnson got the circuit very right, IMHO. Changing what he designed could be a risky business, OTOH I applaud your experimentation. | |
| 20 amp power cords vs 15 amp power cords Might want to look into a Supra Lorad 2.5. This cable is inexpensive and can be had in any length. The cable is a 13 gauge and more than sufficient for a 20 amp draw. I added a 20 amp Wattgate IEC and a Wattgate plug and AB'ed this against a Shuny... | |
| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 I pulled the trigger on an ARC D70mk2 about a year ago..here are my thoughts on it: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/frr.pl?ramps&1277362082&&&/Audio-Research-D-70-mkII-Tube-amp-Agree with Tubegroover, I do not think one can buy a... | |
| Question About NORDOST cables Xtil6, you are right, it's one pair of connectors at one end of the cable X 2.BUT you multiply that by thousands( which I would expect is what Nordost sells of these cables) and you get the idea. A MAJOR savings for the company.Wouldn't be the fir... | |
| Review: Sonus Faber Guarnieri Homage Speaker I added a REL T5 subwoofer a few months back. This is a great sub to match up with the GH's. The sub is VERY fast and has decent extension. It took a while to get the blend correct, but after some experimentation, the GH's are now far more of a "f... | |
| Question About NORDOST cables Youngatheart, I think the marketing hype is getting to you a little bit, IMO.Nordost is now saying that they do not recommend bi-wiring with their cables...IMHO, that's a bunch of BS. Adding jumpers to a speaker that can accept bi-wiring is IMO fo... | |
| Has anyone used Supra AC connectors ??? Sabai, you say" It does not mean I don't have the right to my strong opinions"....I totally agree with you, BUT JUST so that you realize that they are your opinions and NOT necessarily everyone else's. I agree with the posters who say that the Sup... | |
| Has anyone used Supra AC connectors ??? Sabai, i notice that you never miss an opportunity to try and slam the Supra line, Why is that?? You always state your OPINION as a matter of fact that applies to all of us. You Sir, need to get a clue!BTW, I have no affiliation with the Supra Co.... |
