RE: Audio Research M300 MkII monoblocks, to de-mod or not?

>> with the same mod...

That is very interesting. I wish I knew if it was an ARC mod or not.

>> Get a balanced preamp and enjoy, at least until you have to re-tube them. OUCH, been there done that...

Indeed OUCH. Even at wholesale, sixteen 6550s are not what they used to cost. The ones in it now are from ARC, and sound nice, but yeah, a retail purchase of a full set would be pretty painful. Super painful from ARC.

My "other" issue is my current preamp has a built in phono which is very nice, but it is too large to double up (that preamp + new balanced). I would have to find one with a built in phono that was nice that has balanced outputs, or purchase yet another piece of gear (If I keep the M300s, I want fewer, not more other gear items :)
