21 is actually the volume. Almost twice as loud as 11- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Nice to see a different look from them.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Glad they went 6550 vs 88's
IMHO the bass response is much better

That blue would look slick with Joey's Kanta speakers- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Looks like pretty much every DIY, kit, or late 1950s/early 1960s hifi amp ever made, except for the weird colors. Seems funny coming from a company that seemed to go out of their way to hide their tubes for decades.
Cf., e.g., the EICO HF-89 or HF-87.
Man, I'd love to have an HF-89 (or HF-87)...

Probably still waiting for Frank to ship... -
I remember when this arrived at our store, biggest amp I'd ever seen.

^^^ Yeah, that's what an Audio Rearch amplifier is s'posed to look like!
I am sure you noticed, @SeleniumFalcon, that there was one of those (edit: or a close relative!) in that "stacked Quads" image I posted. Zut alors!

That's dirt cheap in my opinion for an ARC new off the bench. All you have to do is stop drinking that stupid Starbucks triple moca latte every day for a few years and it's paid for!Gustard X26 Pro DAC
