I have an audio research LS28 preamp. I’m bi-amping my speakers now with the Ref75 on the mids and highs…temporarily a crown 2002 on the woofers.
Do have anyone to purchase Audio Research REF 75SE in 2021?
Ref 75se has go off from their official website,and they are replaced by REF 80S. As I do not have any experience of 80S and I get some knowledge of pass labs online and how good it is,then go listening x250 and xp10. The listening feeling I got is just water,pure water and lack of texture of the sound. so I go back Audio research and buy ref 75se instead.
Am I made the right choice?
Is that the good time to buy this discontinued products?
Why in my listening, Audio research Ref 75se is much much better then X250? As I feel the singer is just standing in front of me when we run Ref 75se.
I welcome any comments. As I think pass lab is a good SS Amp if we do not compared with Audio reserach Ref 75se.
Is it unfair to compare tube and SS Amp?

@swede58 Ss pre plus SS power are good setup,as pass lab is actually a good amplifier. What I mentioned is that we should not coupled tube pre with SS power. Happy listening.

I'm presently using a Pass .8 series stereo power amp as an "amp stand" for my ARC GS-150 which I LOVE. Been through alot of equipment over the years but the GS-150 is a match in heaven with my Magnepan 20.7s. May eventually upgrade to the ghost meter series amps but I'm enjoying this amp tremendously. Superb. Preamps are still Aesthetix outfitted with NOS tubes; phono stage is a Manley chinook. |
