| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Just curious, why do some people either attribute goodness or blame everything on a fuse? I say this as a person with the SR Black in my ARC Ref 6 and 75se. When my system sounds great, I just don't think, "must be the fuse!". It is a subtle ef... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... David, what are your 300B amps? | |
| Solid state amp to replace my Audio Research Ref 150 amp "Need to hear a dartzeel or Agostino before dissing all solid state. IMO"Good point. I have only heard the D'agostino at shows, but these are at a very different price point. I think the OP was looking at spending $8k. | |
| Solid state amp to replace my Audio Research Ref 150 amp " You won't find a solid state amp that is as good as your Ref 150. "all of my digital amplifier experiences have been pretty disappointing. I would be completely shocked if a digital amp could compete seriously with a ref 150! | |
| Solid state amp to replace my Audio Research Ref 150 amp You won't find a solid state amp that is as good as your Ref 150. I have tried many times, just out of curiosity. Many of the amps mentioned here are not even close. I am pretty sure these suggestions come from people who have not had a 150 in... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... OP, have you considered bringing home a Ref 6 to try? You appreciated the upgrade from the Ref 75 to the 75se. It is a much larger upgrade than that. Simply a stunning upgrade. | |
| Why Are There So Many Audio Research Reference 5SE's For Sale David12, I agree with your first point, but I would point out that ARC generally has a 3 yr minimum sales life on a product before an updated one is released. I think the Ref5se came out in 2011. The Ref 6 came out in late 2015. The "upgrade tr... | |
| The New Audio Research Reference 6 jafant, the preamp feeds a Ref75se. I find Nordost works well with ARC. | |
| The New Audio Research Reference 6 Yes, I got my Ref6 last week. It is significantly more detailed and "musical" than my Ref5se was. It feels faster, and more musically communicative. It actually seems like they could have charged quite a bit more for these improvements. Every ... | |
| Auditorium A23 Record Mat? I thought it improved my Amadeus. And does not have the static issue of the original mat, which was huge for me . | |
| Pro-ject Xtension 10 vs. VPI Prime vs. Amadeus fjn04, yes, I have it pretty well tweaked. I am pretty happy with it. I am just wondering if more performance is avaiable now for about the same money.I also have a Thorens TD124 which provides a nice change. I would like a turntable which provide... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Has anyone compared a Ref75se to a Ref75 with KT150's? | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Oregonpapa, thanks very much for your comments. For myself, I can't help think thinking you should consider finding a Ref5se when you see one available. As one who who seems to appreciate the musicality of products I believe you would have a simil... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Also what preamp are you using? | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... What is the list price on the ref75se? I have a ref75 and just figuring the best route to the SE. |
