Bryston B Cubed Integrated Amplifier. Accuphase C Preamplifier. The GS ended up mating so well with so many speakers that I could see many audiophiles seeking it out for its neutrality, its generous power output -- and a special aspect of its sound that bettered all my other amps.
The handles, toward the front, are not only attractive, but useful for carrying these components around -- particularly the GS, which weighs 87 pounds, a lot of that weight awkwardly concentrated near the front, where the transformers are.
The central meter indicates the incoming line voltage the needle should always be within the range marked Normal , while the other two show the left- and right-channel power outputs, and can also display the bias level for the left- and right-channel tubes see below.
The meters looked even more attractive when I turned on the Lights button on the front panel, just off-center, toward the right off-center to the left is the Power button. This angled deck is handsome and functional, as it eases the attachment of interconnects and speaker cables -- this very large amp is likely to be placed on the floor or a low stand, not in a rack.
Just below the inputs and outputs, on the vertical portion of the rear panel, are the 20A power-cord inlet, switches for auto shut-off and cooling-fan speed, an RS connector, and a trigger input. As I explained in the GSPre review, ARC made a deliberate effort to create a bold new look that blended classic Audio Research elements with brand-new ideas that would, in turn, inspire the look of subsequent products. And they have -- the new Reference 6 preamplifier and Foundation separates have some styling cues taken from the G models.
To generate the Wpc of continuous power that the GS is specified to produce into 8 or 4 ohms, each of its two channels has four KT output tubes and two 6H30 driver tubes. The tubes arrive pretested, prematched, and packed in their own small box, each tube marked for its corresponding socket: V1 through V8 for the output tubes, V9 through V12 for the drivers.
ARC estimates that the tubes will last about hours of use -- a pretty long time. Nonetheless, tubes require some care and attention along the way. Nor do you want to burn yourself on the tubes, or accidentally bump and break them, particularly when the GS is turned on. To protect you and tubes alike, ARC supplies a metal cover with rear-firing cooling fans. If you use this cover I did -- I have small children , make sure the fans are on whenever the amp is turned on.
The fans were audible when my room was very quiet, with no music playing, and my ears were close enough to the GS -- but their noise was entirely covered by the sound of music. Best to play it safe: Turn the fans on. It worked flawlessly with all of them.
I get what Jason likes -- the JE Audio VM60 monos have a bit of that, particularly in the midrange, where there are some warmth and richness that, in comparison to the Simaudio A or the Blue Circle BC, make the latter sound a touch sterile and cold. Not so the GS Instead, the rare times the GS hit its limit, it let me know in a gentler way, by sounding slightly coarser throughout the audioband.
Bottom line: The GS provided plenty of power for most of my listening needs, and when it ran out of power, it did so gracefully. The drums pounded, the lead guitar screamed, and my ears rang. I turned it back down and all was fine again. Of the amps I have here, the A can play these and other speakers even louder, which its much higher power output would only lead you to expect; claimed to produce Wpc into 8 ohms, it should provide 3dB more headroom; at Wpc into 4 ohms, that headroom rises to 6dB.
I doubt the differences have anything to do with the different resolutions; instead, I believe different masters were used to create each. On the other hand, the VM60s, which lean a bit more toward that typical warm tube sound that Jason loves, do add a bit more midrange warmth and presence to her voice on this album. But with tracks that have punchy, visceral bass, it could render the lowest frequencies with more impact and slam, and therefore sound a bit quicker and more incisive.
In the upper frequencies, the GS sounded extremely clean and very sweet, with no hint of reticence -- that is, no audible rolloff. The ARC did nothing to tame it. Over and over, as I played recordings on which the width and depth of the original venue seems to have been captured, those spaces seemed to be greater in all three dimensions through the GS It could project huge soundstages, and made music sound really open and free in my room.
Its tubes? The only thing I can do is tell you what I heard -- and when I boxed up the GS to send it back to ARC, that sense of space was tough to say goodbye to.

Legacy link: This new site was launched in July Visit the older site to access previous articles by clicking above. Its GhostMeters are a brilliant design touch that modernizes the look of a metered power amplifier. So although the name is Reference S -- the S denoting the stereo configuration -- Ref S is the common nickname. In this model, ARC aims to make the lives of audiophiles who prefer tubes easy and stress free. I settled on Ultralinear for my auditioning as I perceived the Ref S to sound a tad more dynamic in this mode, a little softer in Triode. The S measures

There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic monaural and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room.

Print Version. Equipment Reviews. The stereo amp satisfies the demands of a small but significant number of audiophiles: those who need more than watts of high-quality power but do not have the real estate or inclination to commit to two large mono amplifiers. As such, the S is the fourth in a series of Reference stereo amplifiers after the Reference , Reference , and Reference SE catering to audiophiles who eschew integrated units, do not need the power to run a small town, but want something sufficiently large to power speakers with enough bandwidth to be genuinely musically convincing. Warranty: Three years parts and labor.
