When I started to build my new system I also wanted to go for tubes and decided to start with ARC. My VS60 is great even though I can see the difference with the Plinius (120w) I had as a loaner. My ARC is still breaking, hence I need to be patient on realm performance. Overall, very impressed...

thanks, got it but I am still not able to stream it via the aTV to the DAC. Am I missing somehing? :confused:

Ok, I did it. I went out and got an IPT and the aTV. Connected the aTV to my DAC and I am using the IPT to control the music on the aTV via the remote application when I need music for background. Checked the quality of the sound and it is cleary less than a CD (even if I used the loosless...

ok, I was not in the USAF and I am also lost here. Just fired my system up and would like to expand it with a squeezebox but the idea of the IPT intrigues me. is there someone online who is so kind to tell me what I should do and buy to have this type of setup? Btw, I have a wireless PC system...

Did you get the 840C in the end? What do you think? I have just bought it and I would like to get your pov.

Just got the Cambridge Azur 840C! Getting there! Auditioned with and without the power conditioner and with xlr and RCA filtered cables. Interesting enough the RCA with filter sounded better to my "young" hear. The power conditioner generated a nicer and softer sound. Anyway, very happy to have...

Perfect. Thanks!

Yes, got the point. I think I will do my homework also on an entry level power conditioner. Hopefully it is not going to break the bank.

Another suggestion I received is to use a good power conditioner. it seems that without it I will get a slight metallic edge. Also here prices and brands varies a lot. Some brands I got are Monster cable, Transparent audio or PS audio. do you agree?

Just found a Cambridge Azur 840. Almost new. They say it has a good DAC that can be used for other components also. Any comment on this product? thanks

ok, maybe I should have added that the budget is $600 for CD and approx. $900 for the DAC. Anyway, the idea is that I would like to stay around $1500 for a SACD.

:-) I am getting an headache on the source, more i read and talk about it more I get confused... help! so if it is not true that I can get a great sound with a cheap SACD and a good DAC, what shall I do for my source when my budget is approx. $600? am I too low to have a source that can deliver...

About the source, new idea is to use a cheap SACD and combine it with a good DAC. Today they told me that it is a better option than the Jolida.

First of all, I want to thank you all for the postings which help me a lot since I cannot auditon the ARC and will probably be able to listen to the MW. I am also very grateful to the sharing of knowledge being so new to this world. I am enjoying the journey towards the finalization of my...

Ok, I am almost ready to pull the trigger on my preamp (to match my ML Vantages). I am struggling between an used ARC SP16 or a used ModWright SWL9.0SE. Any suggestion or comment from the club? thanks a lot

Is there a way to filter listing on Audiogon based on location? tried to do it but could not figure it out. I have been trying to find something close to me (portland OR) but it seems to be a quite spot for audiophiles audiogon.

thanks all. it is really amazing how subjective this fantastic world of audio is. I am going to audition the VSi55 this weekend. I wish I could go for 2 components (pre and amp) but my budget seems a little short to cover both with good quality. I have been trying to locate a store that sells...

I have the same question. Have you received or listened to them together?

Thank you all for the answers. Has anyone heard the ARC VSi55 with the Vantage? Just downloaded the review from HI-fi news from 2004 and it seems to be a great and fair solution (integrated).

Thanks Bernard, nice to get a straight point of view. I hear different opinion about this solution. someone says that I will get better audio and someone says the opposite. which amp would you choose? - Audio Research - Macintosh
