| Problem with AR Ref 300 Mk II - any experience? Hi Bifwynne,thank you for your input!

| Does the ARC Ref5 sound better than Ref2/3 ? Is there already a Ref5-MkII? Or is this a statement for the future? | |
| Does the ARC Ref5 sound better than Ref2/3 ? Hi Aldavis: thanks, sounds promising. A know that ARC themselves claim that it might take up to 600 hours to totally burn in the Ref5 - I was not aware that this can help the bass as well. I will repost then. | |

| ARC Ref-300 or 600 or 210: Which sounds best ? Lostbears, thanks a lot! You and Hifigeek1 give me confidence that going for the Ref 210s will be the right decision (especially given the Ref-5 being the preamp).In terms of weight, heat, measures, number of tubes, power consumption... I am not u... | |
