| Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE) Thanks to all! | |
| Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE) The Ref 150 is posted back for sale on here. It's an awesome amp, just not the right cup of tea for my system and ears. | |
| Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE) @david_ten I would, but I'm not so hesitant to do anything to this 75. Can anyone comment; does upgrading to 75 make the amp lose any of it's sweetness, personality, and emotion (connection to the artist)? | |
| Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE) Yep... Oh well. I got the 150 for a pretty good price... Hopefully, I can get back the same. I've removed my Ref 75 ad. | |
| Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE) @david12 I think I'm coming to the same conclusion. Anyone looking for a very nice Ref 150? | |
| Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE) I don't know. I don't think that's it. The ref 150 had kt120s in it too. both have 120s in. Never heard the kt150s | |
| Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE) Alright. The 150 arrived.I'm hoping it might need to break in some. Right now it feels a bit like it's going through the motions. The emotional connection to the performance I was getting through the Ref 75, just isn't there.I know tubes need to... | |
| Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE) Say one thing, do another, huh? I just pulled the trigger on a very nice looking ARC Ref 150 (non SE) here. Price seemed very good. After I sell my Ref 75 (even below current offering asking prices here), it is going to come out $500-1k less di... | |
| Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE) Seems your collective advice is as back and forth as my thoughts. 😀 I think I'm going to give the 75se a rip and invest further in isolation w ref speaker cables G5 on the horizon. I am demoing 1 pr of Grand Prix isolation feet and the make a big ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha 2 vs Sophia 3 It's been awhile, but figured I'd do a brief update in case anyone stumbled upon this. System is now:SashasRef 3 preRef 75 ampLumina T1Transparent ultra cables@georgehifi I've really enjoyed the system with the 75 for a year. I did drop in a SimA... | |
| Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE) @david_ten Thanks for the gut-check. My gut is telling me to go with the 75SE upgrade, see if that does it. I'm not looking for a macro difference, just a bit more definition in the bottom octaves. I actually am crazy about the rest of the soun... | |
| Samsung buys Harman for $8B I bet they divest and spin them off/out within the next 12-24 mos. I agree they are after the auto stack. This hit our daily news clips at Intel. We are focused on autonomous driving. Home audio, not so much. I'm sure I have more invested in that... | |
| The most transparent speaker cable Another vote for transparent cables if you can start at at least the G5 plus or ultra or better. | |
