| Problem with Ref 5SE Okay, after a bunch of reading and research it might just be something that I am going to have to live with. Apparently the S/N is what I am hearing, hum/hiss or whatever there might be no getting around it. I do plan on replacing the power tube a... | |

| Tube or SS Pre Upgrade blindjim,It seems to be more of a desire to make a change than the current set-up is not working. I still find a lot of pleasure in long listening session, but curious about newer gear and what it might additionally reveal. The ARC will not be goi... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss Erik,My Pass 260.8 monos replaced a ML333 in my system when it died. Now, I am not sure if my displeasure from the ML was due to it's imminent demise but I thought my ML23.5 that the 333 replaced was more extended in base. While I fully acknowledg... | |

| Whats playing on your system today? I had a very interesting weekend. I happened to see an ad on Craigslist looking to sell 200+ (closer to 250) cd's for 20.00. Figuring if I found three jems in the lot, it would be worth it so I contacted the guy. He turned out to be selling them f... | |
