Clarification regarding point 1 of the previous message: The ARC REF ll belonges to my brother. I had both units - actually all 3 units - ARC Phono for approximately 7 month I removed the V-CAP and replaced same with Ansar SPA Audio-Grade, silver, 1.1mm leads, 1% tolerance. Regarding the Dr. Arthur Loesch Pre: Removed "all" V-CAPS and installed SPA Grade Silvers. To me, the results were predictable: Soundstage opened up significantly with the Loesch. No "artificial" flavors in both pre-amps. Image-focus tightened significantly, midrange and bass now had more definition and extension. This all happened after the equipment reaching "thermal equilibrium" - about I hour into warm-up. No dicernable improvement regarding the Ansar's since initial warm-up. Yes, I probably could get you the V-CAP from their owners. I'll certainly won't loose any sleep over retrieving those V-Caps. However, if I am able to do this, and providing that they still have these devices, I will "overnight" these to you, gratis!! I'll do even better than that: I'll include complete specifications of the 3 types of Ansar capacitors available: PPA, CPA,& SPA grades, compromising approximately 210 different value capacitors between those groups. And if your really nice to me, I might even be talked into a "freebie sample" for you!!
