Audio Research Refernce 75se


Hey.

i just heard Ref75 she that I would like to buy.

It has some quite buzz noise when u stand really close to the amp, and if u put the ear close to it you can hear it.

the seller said it is normal.. any experience with it?

Probably why the party in question wants to sell it. ARC is subject to as many problems as any other brand but cost x times more to repair.  No practical experience, just my impression to what is written here.  

Next someone who has had no problems will chime in and say otherwise, and that's ok.

@mike30 what I was getting at is that you dont have enough data. Ive owned this amp on multiple occasions, it shouldnt have noise. What power treatment were they using? Was the amp plugged into the wall? What about the circuit? What kind of power cable? Is it a dedicated or shared circuit? Shared power strip with switched mode devices?

 

you really should utilize the dealer channel. You think it will cost you more but it will save you money in the long run.

Transformer buzz! If it's not too obtrusive you can live with it! ARC might charge a lot for a new transformer.
