Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE)
Good move jo1mtb. I look forward to your thoughts on the differences. 
Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE)
ARC 150 non SE and then, when the tubes are used up, replace them with KT 150s. I have gone through the Ref 110 with 6550s, Ref 110 with KT 120s, Ref 150 with KT 120s, Ref 150 with KT 150s--all with my Sashas. I have also heard the Sashas with The... 
Magico vs Kef vs B&W vs. VSA
Audiotroll:The op said:"Please do not suggest any other speaker..." You not only ignore the op's request, but then to add insult to injury, you criticize Dweller's choice of another speaker which IMHO is a better speaker in almost all respects, es... 
Spectral SDR-3000
I received my Spectral SDR4000SV processor last week together with MIT pc and Spectral (made by MIT) interconnects which are connected to my ARC Ref 40 pre and Ref 150 amp with KT 150s. I used to use a BelCanto PL-1 universal cd player for redbook...

Sgt Peppers remix --very nice 
The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's
OK. Now the remixed album. Vocals more prominent and more centered on all songs. Bass slightly amped up (or I believe, more precisely, untrimmed) and better defined. Instrumentation sounds less brittle in parts on the remix. I no longer automatica... 
The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's
Very interesting alternate takes on the second of the 2 vinyl albums. And they sound great---some are raw and unprocessed as many of the vocals were on the final version. The pressing is a bit noisy on the early part of side 1 on my copy (crunchin...

Audiotroy:You always miss my point. It's not about the gear you promote. It's about you and how you do it.

I agree jetter. This forum is all about sharing our listening experiences and our expertise. However, dealer hyperbole and sales are not welcome IMHO. I have suffered through Audiotroll’s salesmanship on too many different threads and I call him o... 
Amps/Preamps for Rockport Aviors
Hi Gasherbaum. Let us all  know how you make out. That way, we can enjoy vicariously without having to spend our own money.P.S. despite the fact that specifications may not indicate that the ARC 250se or VTL S400IIs are a perfect match, both of th...

Chin up jetter. You are among those who "get it". Wish more Goners would stand up to advertisements. 
Amps/Preamps for Rockport Aviors
Hi Audiotroll:I did not say I heard the HV series at Stereo Exchange. In fact, it was probably not the HV series as it was before 2014. I did hear the HV Series of T&A at Audio Doctor's room at the NY stereo show last year with Personas and th... 
New in 2017
I am a huge Dylan fan, but let's be honest-- if the albums of standards he has recently released were put out by any other human alive--that human would be laughed out of the room. He sings off key so much, its laughable. The albums are only "inte...
