ARC Ref 10 vs CJ GAT(2) ?

[Alpinist]

Awesome, I cannot wait. I still can’t believe how good it sounds.

I heard material improvement up to 700 hours. Yours will continue to improve. Glad you’re loving it. You’ve really elevated your system.

I must have been a good boy. I hate turning off my system and having to leave the house.

So Joe, when are you going to buy a Momentum Preamp?:evil:

 

[joeinid]

Ha!

I honestly don’t have any desire for one. I hope there’s nothing wrong with me

Besides, my Luxman C900 is wonderful.

C'mon, what about system synergy.

 

[XV-1]

C'mon Joe. We all luv spending your money :woot:

C'mon, what about system synergy.

Ya know, I think I've found it

C'mon Joe. We all luv spending your money :woot:

I know you do, but don't you want me to be happy? I can't imagine better in my room.

Joe, multiple systems makes everyone happy :congrats:

 

[Mechnutt]

Joe, it can always be better. It depends on what you have in the bank. Isn't that what hi end audio is about, searching for the unobtainable holy grail!

 

[AJR]

Agree. It is where one’s price to value (value being a mix of objective and subjective) point is on the very steep diminishing returns curve. This point is constrained by budget.

 

[joeinid]

Could it be better? Possibly, maybe not for me and not with a non-dedicated room. But, I am so content at this point, it doesn't really matter. I'll tweak around the edges a little, power, room, cables, etc.. Life is good.

There are always better sounding speakers.:band:

 

[joeinid]

Hahahaha! That's why I have my JBL 4367

Both the Studio2 (Stereophile Class A rated) and 4367 are wonderful.

[Mechnutt]

I'll take a pair of Tidal speakers with the diamond tweeters or a pair of Wilson Alexia's. Although the Studio 2's are awesome. Never heard the JBL's.

 

[joeinid]

Yes, so many great choices.

I wouldn’t trade my Vandy 7 Mk2’s for all the tea in China.

I love reading about everyone's quest for happiness. Joe inspires me all the time. I am closing in on that point of satisfaction, at a more modest level, of course. Love the ARC pre, and new KEF's... but I will say the T+A DAC will hold it's own... even against much higher priced DACs....

Trying out a set of AQ Earth XLR's from a buddy... he will probably not get these back... these $1000 interconnects between the T+A and the ARC sound amazingly better!

 

[tdimler]

Joe....can you offer a contrast between the Ref 10 and C-900u?

 

[joeinid]

Let me think about this for a little while. I have not put the Luxman in since getting the Ref 10. The Luxman C900u is no slouch, but has stiff competition against the mighty Ref 10.

Joe....can you offer a contrast between the Ref 10 and C-900u?

 

[Mechnutt]

You can send me the Luxman and let me decide for myself Joe.
