Back to Solid State (No More!)Hi Charles, I gave up a detailed, perfect reproduction of the recording for a "real, in the room" sound that just is easier to listen to and more musical. I especially like the musicality... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |

Back to Solid State (No More!)System edited: I thought the ARC REF 5 and PH-7 was the ultimate until I tried Valve Amplification Company's (VAC) Signature 2a pre amp w/phono. The ARC is technically accurate; the VAC is magical!... posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |
