Ref75se

Guess I should rephrase my question.

 I am curious as to why some units are for sale for a long time, like months.

 I know there are variables like local pickup no shipping,etc.

Thanks to all for your insights.

 I am slowly upgrading my shop system and I am trying to do it with some forethought.

As of now here’s where I’m at.

ref5se

forte III speakers with GR research crossover’s , braced cabinets, no rez, damped horns

Canare and DH labs

Carver tfm45 updated/ overhaul by Nelion audio.

I am ok with my amp, but I know there’s definitely room for improvement there.

Sure is an over abundance of options from when I started my “stereo system “ in the 60’s/70’s.

You know this is my first outing with tubes, with my pre,and my impression is I’ll bet I could get hooked. I still have my Carver C19,  but it will now go in the closet.

My other thoughts are to maybe try a Rogue 100 dark, and or a good SS. Pass, Bryston, Parasound??

 I would like to be “done” and just listen to the music, right?

@jetter,

Yes I saw that one yesterday morning, right before I had to leave for work.

Well, it so happens I was late for work. Reason why? Well, I will soon be a ref75se owner!  Oh the anticipation of it all! Talked to the gentleman and worked out a deal.

I wanted to hold out for a black one but just didn't feel like waiting any longer.

Sincere thanks to all who chimed in. I will report back and give my impressions. It appears this really is a wonderful amp.I know I will need to adjust to the overall sound off my system , which I bet will be pretty dramatic.

Glad I bought the black one 😁 You’re going to love this amp.

Wanna trade??👍
