ARC REF 750


Well I finally pulled the big trigger , I just purchased an Audio Research REF750. After many years loving and enjoying my Krell FPB 600 i got tired of all that booming bass and now missing the musical clarity that I know want. Don’t get me wrong I still love that big beast of an amp. It never gave me one problem. It works and always worked flawlessly. I also think that my ARC Ref 6 will be a really good match for the REF 750. Now I’m really thinking about that 6 to 6SE upgrade from ARC. Can’t wait til they arrive.Also use a Rega ISIS CDP and B&W 801 Matrix speakers

I have broken in three Audio Research Reference 160s and found they are not fully broken in until 1,000 hours. The pattern is the same on each. I will say that most of the breakin occurs in the first 600 hours and then trails off. But there is a pretty noticeable difference between 600, 800 and 1,000. 

They are beasts. Banks and banks of capacitors though the huge C core trannies need to burn in as well.
