Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? Just for a better listening room ? NO. There are many other factors to consider first if I sold my home to move to another home. | |
How much should I expect with a warranty issue from a large retailer/distributor? Cmon that ain’t bad. Spend the 100 bucks. Get it fixed. Pack it up and ship it. U have all the original packing. Get it over with. It’s a no brainer. | |
Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps Ty everyone. From reading all your replies I think it will be ok to disconnect from the comments ends. I also do have 4 dedicated outlets for my components and to be more on the safe side I will also turn off the 4 dedicated breakers also before d... | |
Listening Room You have to take care of your wife’s or significant others sweet spot also. I don’t think you are working to hard on that. | |
Leaving tube amps on. @jetter Read my post from last year about when I first bought my Ref 750s. I had a tube arc from a bad KT150. | |
Leaving tube amps on. @pindac Thank you for clarity on Red plate. I was just gonna ask how important tube bias is and what can happen if not biased. | |

Leaving tube amps on. @czarivey Thanks for your response. These are my first tube amps I have ever owned. I went from a Krell FPB 600 to the ARC Ref 750s. My first day of owning them I was listening for about 10 min and had a tube arc from a KT150 tube. It sounded li... | |

Leaving tube amps on. @simao Ty. I just read it. @jea48 Ty. Yes. I have to agree with what u said. Sometimes I don’t listen to music for 4 or more hours later in the day. So it would make sense to shut them down. Anything less I’ll leave on sometimes it’s maybe 2 h... | |
What is preferred/best contact cleaner these days? This is a very interesting topic for me. Until I read this I totally forgot about cleaning my contacts for a few years now. I found what I was using and it was Kontak. I still have a half bottle left. I will do all my connections today. I was surp... | |
Power cords: does length matter? @ghdprentice That really would be interesting and fun to visit each other systems. I listen mostly to classic rock , soft rock , pop, Motown , some county , some jazz , some classical. My volume is typically 80 - 86db. |
