Awesome Steve.....so impress us with the description of the sound! I imagine the synergy between the amp and preamp has taken it to a whole other level?

It looks like the top is off. Or is it glass? Congratulations.

The top was off in that shot, I had just installed the tubes. But it also has a clear top.

Steve,
What did you have before the new ARC gear? It seems a lot of folks move from McIntosh to ARC.

I had a McIntosh C2300 preamp and two Mac MC275 amps running in mono. I had that setup for the past five years. The ARC is much better than what I had!!!

Congrats Steve - out of interest, do you have a particular bent on styles of music? Just curious whether the ‘better’ might be suited to different styles of music, or it may we’ll be across the board.

Happy listening and looking forward to hearing more!

Jamie
