| FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound I spent a few minutes polishing the copper sluggos with a connoisseur’s polishing cloth (gold) until they were visibly shinier and installed them earlier this afternoon. My system is sounding better than ever with the polished copper, making the ... | |
| Audio Research i/50 @superelmar any update? It's been about a month, do you have your i/50 yet? | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS28 SE? Forgot to add: Choosing between a 28SE and a Ref 6 is not an easy choice. I don't know what I would do between those two. | |
| Anyone heard the new ARC LS28 SE? I've owned the LS28, 28SE, Ref 6 and Ref 6SE. The SE versions are significantly better than the non-SE counterparts. To me, the LS pres do almost everything the Ref ones do, but the Ref preamps are much better with scale and perspective i.e. not... | |
| FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound @ozzy I was also surprised that I prefer the brass. Still trying to justify that to myself. I've got my polishing cloth and bullfrog standing by for when I get the fuse boxes back, but I'm planning to run them a few days before I try anything el... | |
| Audio Research Gain Settings on Line Stage Amplifiers In my experience the ARC pres with switchable gain sound best set to high gain. | |
| FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound Mark was kind enough to send me 2 of the fuse boxes to try on my preamp and power amp. I'll do my best to give my impressions, though I feel like the sound is still changing and improving. Out of the box (copper sluggo): Bass. More in both qua... | |
| Integrated amp recommendation for Maggie .7's @ghdprentice Funny you should suggest that. My big system consists of a CD9, Ref Phono 3, Ref 6SE, and '160S. It's hard to put a number on it but I really feel the i/50 gets me 80% of the way there or even a little more. No plans to downsize... | |
| What is your experience with amp power? My Audio Research Ref 75SE sounds bigger and better than my 600 watt ss monoblocks on every speaker I've ever played them with. I think for most people, enough power is about 30 watts but amplifier power is not a good basis for comparing two ampl... | |
| Integrated amp recommendation for Maggie .7's @ghdprentice I have to agree. I have an i/50 at home on loan at the moment, playing it for my wife the other night she looked at me and said "does this mean we can get rid of the big system?" May have gotten myself into some trouble with that. ... | |

| Which ARC ref linestage to try: Ref3, Ref5, Ref5SE? HATE forward sounding systems The Ref 3 seems to fit your preferences better than the later ones. As you mentioned, the "supertube" models are more neutral and less euphonic than the earlier ones, so you might even look at a Ref 2 MkI. I would not describe any of the Ref pre... | |
| Integrated amp recommendation for Maggie .7's Audio Research i/50 is at the top of your price range, but would be a classic pairing with the maggies. | |
| FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound @verafiaudio Thank you for your response. Regarding the programming, is that done in production or can the end user alter the settings? I'm trying to determine if it would be possible to try it on a few different pieces of equipment to see ... | |
| FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound How is the fuse value set on the SD fuse box? Is it set from the factory or user-adjustable? Does anyone know the maximum fuse rating? |
