| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. I took the plexiglass cover off my REF 6 and took a look. If the REF 5SE is anywhere close, then Audio Research used through hole parts on the circuit board. Also, on the REF 6 main board, I didn't see any logic circuitry. That was on other bo... | |
| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. @goldenear19; What's with the Audio Research bashing? It's okay that you don't like Audio Research for your own personal reasons. However, in my opinion, most things are over priced and over hyped. So, include all the other items out there in y... | |
| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. Unless parts are unobtainable, anything can be repaired. It's just up to you whether it is worth it to do so. If it was me, I wouldn't hesitate. You would spend approximately the same for a used REF 5SE vs getting this one repaired. I would bit... | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... I already stated the technical side.1. voltage handling capability must be met2. Current carrying capability must be met3. Impedance (resistance, inductance, capacitance) changes over frequency. this is the reason why cables that meet 1 & 2... | |
| Have you ever got emotionally attached Wow! Rowland 8T. Now that's a nice amp.enjoy | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... I understand that many subjects have already been discussed many times over the years. However, many times, it is difficult to surf through the years of posts to find adequate responses. So, it really isn't a problem for a new audiophile to post... | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE I just remember that from the REF 5 to REF 5SE, to me, it wasn't enough of a sonic improvement to "justify" me purchasing the REF 5SE from the REF 5. However, there was enough of an improvement (just enough) for me to justify going from a REF 3 (... | |
| ditch the Krell FPB 400cx for my 'new' Sophia 2's? If there is nothing wrong with the Krell amp or the sound from it with those speakers, I wouldn't even think about replacing it.I know there was a time when Krell products seemed very bright to my ears, but I don't think this amp fell within that ... | |
| Who does Krell KSA-150 rebuilds/recapping ?? If anywhere close to Los Angeles, CA, I would use George Meyer AV.They are very good with Krell, Mark Levinson, Audio Research, etc.enjoy | |
| XLR cable with warmth without losing resolution I suggest looking into Audio Art Cables out of San Diego California.Robert Fritz (619) 255-6451 or their web page.I was looking to get new cables since I moved my system such that I would no longer need 25 foot XLR cables (don't ask). I wanted to... | |
| High Powered Holographic Amplifiers I honesty don't believe that the amp nor the speakers are the problem here. If there exist a problem at all. First question I ask is what exactly is missing (if any) from your experience.Are you missing dimensional sound? If so, look elsewhere.... | |
| Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers? Street Life: The CrusadersBrothers in Arms: Dire Straits.enjoy | |
| Audio Research REF 3 worth buying today? same voltage level in Portugal as in the Netherlands? enjoy | |
| Question For Those In The Know About Audio Research Power Amps Yep, that is the case for KT150 tubes. I imagine that one could use KT88, KT90, KT120 tubes instead if you desire and they fit the sockets. You would have to know the new bias points. But, a simple call to Audio Research would confirm this. Aud... | |
| Monster Regret!! @roberttdid; sorry but I disagree with your assessment regarding the cause of ground loops. Since it is physically impossible to connect all equipment to the same outlet, and most people actually have dedicated lines installed directly to the pa... |
