| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Oregonpapa, you obviously have a great system. I am just wondering if your cartridge is really up to par with the gear you are using. I figure between your amp, pre-amp and phone pre-amp you are into it retail price of 29k. But then you are using ... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... David 12, makes a good point. The baby boomers are at retirement age and most are not going to make big purchases anymore. The generation after the baby boomers have no Interest in high-end. They didn't grow up with it. I have no Idea what these h... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... I have to say from a business point of view ARC is very smart. They know that a fair percentage of their clients will buy the upgrade. I think is what keeps them in business. I don't think they are getting to many new customers in 2015. | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Oregonpapa, you make a good point. At 300k it better sound good. And I also agree it was the best sound at the show. | |

| Audio Research 75 SE So I am trying to understand this. The original Ref 75 was 9k and the new SE model is 10k. I have heard the new upgrade is 2500.00. Someone would be better off selling their Ref 75 for 7k and just buying the new version for 10k. | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Oregonpapa, the speakers you are referring to are the Vandersteen model 7. | |

| Exemplar Audio - What's Needed In High End Audio The gear might sound great and be well built but if you ever want to sell it you are going to take a Huge hit in the pocketbook. I would rather buy used gear from established companies that will hold their resale value. Plus the fact that this com... | |
| Audio Research VT 100 MKIII I haven't heard a word about Music Reference in years. Is the guy still around? | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear I would love to sell it but believe it or not my wife likes it. I guess even some woman like the look of Mc intosh. Go figure! | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear The bottom line is Mc intosh doesn't even build their own TT. I believe clear audio makes it for them. It's made for the guy that wants it to match his other Mc gear. Call it what you will, but that is a fashion statement in my book. | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear I think Mc intosh is fine gear. I even own a mint Mr-78 tuner though I never really use it. I just think their turntable looks ridiculous. Meters on a TT. Please. |
