Audio Research Refernce 75se

System was really high end all around . @ghasley 

you can hear the noise clearly coming out of the amp

its small buzz/hum , even can say sound a bit metallic .

The noise isn’t transferring to the speakers from what I heard.

cant hear it from where I sit. But 1-1.5 meter away I can.

@jasonbourne52 

hey jason.. do u have any idea for the cost of a new one?

Good news i would be taking it to a mechanic to check it out.

imlooking towards the ARC ls27 atm . what do u think for this combo? @ghasley 

@ghasley

well if the deal won’t be happenning.

im probably getting the Ayre VX-5 Twenty with Preamp KX-5 Twenty.

 BTW I didn't went any where over Head with the set I heard today .. Ididnt felt any wow

speakers were Sonus Faber Amati

@ghasley 

I did, im staying with the Vandersteen model 2 sig3 for now

Just the clarify .. the noises are coming through the amp, not from the speakers.

I’m going to try my Vandersteen with 

those 3 amps, not sure about the pre amp that will be used in the test yet.

1 ARC Ref75 SE (after passing mechanically check)

2 Ayre VX-5 twenty

3 Aesthetix Mimas

I will let you know as soon as I heard and picked a winner.

until then, anyone who heard few of them and can compare would be happy to hear it here.

@jetter

I wish I could.

I’m not from the US and I’m limited.

talked to the owner of the Ref75 se he connected it for 5 hours in seperate place and he said there was 0 noise after 4-5 hours of running. anyway im taking it for a verfied ARC mechanic to check it out. then im gonna do a sound test compare to the VX-5 twenty and choose 1 :D
