Ref75se

I have been shopping for a ref75se or ref150se for awhile and have noticed either they get sold pretty quickly, or are on the market for awhile.

I have been in snooze you lose situations, but am hesitant to pull the trigger on one because of it being unsold for quite some time.

Just would like to know from the experience here on the forum what you all think.

You know this is my first outing with tubes, with my pre,and my impression is I’ll bet I could get hooked. I still have my Carver C19,  but it will now go in the closet.

My other thoughts are to maybe try a Rogue 100 dark, and or a good SS. Pass, Bryston, Parasound??

 I would like to be “done” and just listen to the music, right?

I haven't been able to bring myself to sell my '75SE.  It's been in storage for a little over a year (since I got my '160S) but it's such a sweet little amp that I've become emotionally attached.

Can't go wrong.

You are a member of a large group of folks that cannot let go. This is a common thing… even though folks admit they like the REF160 better… they can’t part with the REF 70SE

Yes my system is in my shop. It's the wifey thing. She finds my system is annoying. Prefers quiet time. That's OK though. I have more square footage in shop area than my house, so it is actually a win-win.
