| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Tsushima1 ...Well congratulations, you almost made it through an entire post without making a smarmy personal attack. Almost.Look, I could care less about exchange rates and biasing. That's not what this thread is about. Perhaps you should start y... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Salectric ...That Paul Desmond is one fantastic sounding record. Desmond at his finest. And wait 'till you hear the presence of the guitar on this record. Demo quality all the way. Good choice. Man, I love turning folks on to good records and musi... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Tsushimal ...Sorry man, but you left me pondering the unexplored depths being probed by your wife's gynecologist. I suggest that instead of trolling these boards in an attempt to find a whipping boy to assuage your infantile ego, that you go elsew... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Jamnesta ...As a semi-retired person myself, I couldn't agree with you more. Its important to make the purchases wisely. Buying quality gear is part of making purchases wisely. There's less depreciation and there is always the manufacturer to back... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Tsushimal ...You refer to ARC playing on a "crazy golf course." Hey man, this entire game of high end audio is a crazy golf course and the green fees are expensive as hell. Is the purchase of Lyra's flagship worth 10K? Well, that system I alluded ... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Timrhu ...*lol*Would you believe that I actually smelled Paul Desmond's tobacco breath?I didn't think so. | |
| Tube amps with Apogee Scintilla's your thoughts ? I heard a ARC D-250 driving the big Apogees in a good set up in a stereo store years ago. It was pretty amazing. | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Well, I'm old, but thank God I can still hear. To the naysayers ... even those who are just having a little fun poking at us ARC guys ... no offense taken by me, None. In fact, I kind of enjoy poking your ribs in return. :>)With that said, in o... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... My source told me to simply ignore the trolls and Negative Nancys posting in this thread, but I just couldn't resist. Sour grapes, anyone? :>) Herb1 ... Good choice. Please post here when you get them back. I've "heard" that the first pair of R... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Thanks, Taters ... Yes, that's it ... The Vandersteen 7's. Driven with all of the best ARC gear, I have never heard such realism from any audio system. That string quartet was right there in the room. Front to back, side to side, you could just se... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Abrew19 ...Do you have anything positive to add to the topic or the thread in general??Just wondering .. | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... And then, after Doris Day ...I put on Jo Stafford's "Ballad of The Blues." Here's another one of the 1940's big band greats. Yeah, I know, White girls can't sing the blues ... riiight. This album has so much going on within it ... its a great one ... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... To Salectric ... and anyone else who is interested:Got up this morning and had the amp warmed up by 8am. Its at 25 hours from new now, and has kind of hit a plateau. Not surprising. My experience in breaking in the new ARC gear is that at times, f... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Tubegroover ...You've nailed it. Here's what I suspect. A lot of the times we are communicating with younger folks who were born after the digital revolution took place. Its understandable that they don't get it. Nothing against them at all. Hey, ... | |
| Audio Research 75 SE Cary ... I swear to GAWD ... I can't tear myself away either. Had the system warmed up at 7:30 again this morning (Friday) and didn't jump into the shower and get dressed until 3pm. I need help! *lol* The sound stage depth is becoming quite unbeli... |
