| KT150s in Audio Research Ref 110. Moo foo how would you describe the differences between the 6550 and 120? | |
| KT150s in Audio Research Ref 110. George I understand. Sometimes you have to pay to play. Been there with a few tube amps. From my understanding ARC ran low on 6550 tubes and the later production runs of Ref 110s used the KT120s. | |
| KT150s in Audio Research Ref 110. Those are some expensive tubes. | |
| KT150s in Audio Research Ref 110. Exactly what I needed to see. Thank you jea48. The Ref110 sounds awesome with the KT120 but I have 4 KT150 and was thinking about buying 4 more if the amp could handle the KT150s. | |
| KT150s in Audio Research Ref 110. They said the plate current is to high for the power supply I believe. | |
| ARC LS26/27 vs BAT VK31SE Update: The LS26 has been a very nice addition and a great match for the Ref 110. The overall sound is very cohesive and balanced. My gut feeling was correct :) | |
| Mark Levinson 27.5 versus modern day amps There is something to be said for a beefy or brawny amp that exhibits eye candy, power and finesse. The older Levinson amps are hard to beat in this regard IMO. | |
| 2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :) Low to mid watt tube integrated amp. Choices are many but Primaluna, Rogue and Raven Blackhawk should be on the shortlist. Just my 2 cents because Klipsch are a relatively simple load. | |
| ARC LS26/27 vs BAT VK31SE Quick update. I will be trading my VK31SE for a LS26 very soon so I hope this is a good move. I think it will but we'll see. | |
| Amp comparison Well playing devils advocate a fellow Audiogoner has had both the Ref 150 and SE. He preferred the 150. Felt it was a overall tubier sounding amp. | |
| ARC Ref 110 with KT 150 tubes Just in case anyone is still wondering the KT150 is NOT recommended in the Ref 110. I was told this 2 weeks ago by ARC. | |
| ARC LS26/27 vs BAT VK31SE Thanks for the feedback so far. I can't afford the Ref Series preamps right now so that's why I'm around $3k or below. The BAT VK31SE I wouldn't consider it really tubey but musical and relatively neutral. Of course this is my opinion. Would lov... | |
| ARC LS26/27 vs BAT VK31SE Thanks for the information guys. Wondering whether it's worth it to switch to a ARC preamp. The LS 26/27 series is in my price range. | |
| ARC LS26/27 vs BAT VK31SE Does the ARC LS 26/27 have a more tube-like sound than the BAT in general? What about soundstage, sense of attack, tonality, bass, etc...? | |
| Soliciting Member Perspectives: Levinson vs Bryston vs Audio Research I have owned Levinson 27, 27.5 and 29 amps and 36 DAC. All are great products and pride of ownership high. Have never owned ARC until recently when I bought a Ref 110 amp. I have to say it is the best sounding amp I have ever owned but I like tu... |
