| ARC's new REF-75 Djcxxx ...With all due respect, I couldn't disagree with you more. Over the years, ARC has continued to improve their products. Sometimes, the improvement in sound may be marginal ... but not with the new REF products. These are all new designs wi... | |
| ARC PH-8 OK, are you guys using the new power tube offered by ARC in your PH-8 and Ref pre-amps? If not, you should order one. Its a simple upgrade that significantly lowers the noise floor, improves the bass and increases dynamics. | |
| ARC's new REF-75 Oh, and I forgot to add ... With this amp in the system, Digital is worth listening to FINALLY! Who knew? :>) | |
| ARC's new REF-75 Thanks for the kind comments, Gpgr ...I now have 150 hours on the Ref-75. My initial impressions of the amp were typical of every piece of ARC REF gear I've had ... An improvement over the equipment it replaced, but still in need of a lot of impro... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? I have a test pressing of one of Ralph's recordings. It features Ralph on flute and his then wife on vocals. Great recording and exactly what Ralph is talking about in this thread. Man, O' Man ... nothing like tubes from the beginning to the end. | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? I've been collecting and playing LPs since junior high school and now have a record collection numbering over 5000. Much of my collection is 1950s jazz, and most of them are mono recordings. Want to hear what mono jazz sounds like at it's best: Bu... | |
| ARC's new REF-75 Sorry Kana ... I got you and 213cobra mixed up in my latest post. My apologies to both of you. Gee, I think I'm blushing a bit. :>) | |

| ARC's new REF-75 Well, the REF-75 will be making music in my system by the first week in July. Oh ... and I AM very familiar with live music as well. I'll report back on the results. 'Till then, take care guys. :>) | |
| ARC's new REF-75 Sorry about the error in my post re: the model of Wilson speakers. All the latest ARC gear takes about 500 hours before it really sings. My PH-8 continued to improve right up to the 1000 hour mark. There was something I noticed about the room in w... | |

| New ARC amp --- REF-75 Also, I just wrote a separate article here on my impressions of the REF-75 that I heard in Newport Beach. It was driving a pair of Wilson Sasha's, 87db ... and was just coasting. It has the same power supply as the REF-110. | |
| New ARC amp --- REF-75 Vinw ... If you read Paul Bolin's article/review at Audiobeat, you'll see a link that brings you to Warren Gehl's home system. He has the Tympani's and drove them with no problems at all. | |
| Mapleshade Steamer Kit.....anyone? I bought the Mapleshade steamer and used it for awhile. It is cheaply made and started leaking, so I tossed it. As a suggestion, try the Mapleshade maple planks under your speakers. Spike the planks to the floor, then spike your speakers to the pl... |
