furutech antistat 3
Agree with bdp24. I have v2 which far surpasses my Zerostat. It's worth the $. 
One of the Best Stereo System in the World!
Very affecting video. Beautiful system.  
Wilson Alexia 2
Hi George:I read the Stereophile measurements and the review when they were published. I cannot speak about the Gryphon. I can speak about what I heard in my room. Measurements are helpful to determining how components may interact. Nothing beats ...

George:In my home, the only difference in bass response between the Dag Momentum S250 and the Audio Research amps was the quality of the bass, not the depth or slam. The quality of ss and tube bass are quite different as is the midrange---but re s... 
Wilson Alexia 2
You should really listen to the Alexia 2s with ARC Ref 160 monos. I have had in house in the past the Ref 250s, the D’Agostino Momentum S250 and now the ARC Ref 160 monos. The Ref 160 monos are the most musical and natural sounding amps that I hav... 
Wilson Alexia 2
Many times. An all Spectral  system with Wilson presents an extremely accurate but, IMHO slightly antiseptic sound--unlike, say, D'Agostino, Wells audio, Lamm 1.2 (hybrid) or tubes (ARC, VTL, VAC, BAT) which are my personal favorites because they ... 
"Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial
The Mobile Fidelity Ultradisc One step Bridge sound quite good unlike the Greatest Hits vinyl and cd version and all of the  other cd versions that I have including the  2011 remaster. 
is this the greatest live band of all time?
Ok. I've seen Springsteen live scores of times going back to his days at local bars in Asbury Park (and at least once every 2 years since then to date). He represents more than half of the top 10 shows I've ever seen. (Elton John and John Lennon f... 
Spectral 4000 pro or SL CD Player
I would consider that re Spectral 4000SV at the right price. 
ARC REF 150SE vs REF 160S
I moved from the Ref 150 to Ref 150 with KT 150s which ARC reps told me was almost as good as the Ref 150se. Then I moved up to Ref160 monos. There was a difference between my Ref 150 with KT150s and the Ref 160 monos but it was maybe 15 percent f... 
Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed - 50th Anniversary just released on MQA - Tidal HiFi
I am a vinyl guy--but I did purchase all of the Stones 2002 ABKO SACDs. Let It Bleed was the best of the lot ----amazingly good and one of the best sounding SACD albums that I own. Hard to believe considering that the Stones seemed to pay very lit... 
Should I bypass my Shunyata Hydra power conditioner?
In my experience with all Shunyata power conditioners (I've owned the last 4 Hydras/Triton--now the Triton 3 ), an amp always sounds better plugged directly into the wall. Even though Shunyata reps told me that amps benefit from the Triton, this h...

Question For Those In The Know About Audio Research Power Amps
Hi Rooze:I was in the same boat as you. I had a Ref 110 and loved it but found it a little bit on the lean side. I thought that might be the price for the ARC bloom and holographic presentation. When I purchased the Ref 150--that all changed. Now ... 
Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other
+1 Mike LavigneIn short--vinyl sounds more natural. Digital sounds truncated. But it sure is convenient and I listen to digital more than vinyl.My system has 2 cd players including a Spectral SDR 4000SV and two universal players. On the vinyl side...
