| Any experience with Arc ref75 driving magnepans ARC "lied" about the power of the Reference 75!Per the Stereophile testing:Audio Research specifies the Reference 75's maximum power as 75Wpc (18.75dBW into 8 ohms) at typically 0.6% THD. Figs. 5, 6, and 7 show how the THD+noise percentage increas... | |
| Any experience with Arc ref75 driving magnepans Keep the Pass XA30.5!More peak power at 4ohms, and better sound quality. No tube hassles like break-in, ageing, blown resistors, and trips back to ARC.I have experience with ARC tube equipment, and they work fine a minority of the time! | |

| Audio Research D-52B: any suggestions for caps? The Magnepan crossover uses film capacitors and those probably can go forever. No need for replacement.For the electrolytics I suggest Sprague or Mallory, they are good brands.Do a google search for suppliers. | |
| Can I tweak L-R balance by differntial biasing? You can buy attenuating plugs that are put in between the interconnect and preamp to change the volume of one channel.Google "RCA attenuating plug". | |
| Magnepan 1.7 owners and subwoofers Upgrade to the 3.X or 20.x series!The bass transition from planar to cone speaker is "NEVER" coherent! | |
| Pass X600 Will it heat my room too much ?? I run a pair of XA60.5's (220 watts each) 24/7 in a 25x16x8 foot room and never notice any increase in room temperature!My electric bill for these amps is $25/mo.Hot tube amps with fans is another matter. | |
| Super Cheap Upgrade Just buy Murine ear drops and warm water sprayer bulb from any pharmacy. | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something Ha Ha! Best thread in a long time. The reviewing "Emperors" have no clothes!They are almost all "un-trusworthy shills" and "marketers ".Most reviews are a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and furry, signifying nothing ! | |
