ARC REF 750


Well I finally pulled the big trigger , I just purchased an Audio Research REF750. After many years loving and enjoying my Krell FPB 600 i got tired of all that booming bass and now missing the musical clarity that I know want. Don’t get me wrong I still love that big beast of an amp. It never gave me one problem. It works and always worked flawlessly. I also think that my ARC Ref 6 will be a really good match for the REF 750. Now I’m really thinking about that 6 to 6SE upgrade from ARC. Can’t wait til they arrive.Also use a Rega ISIS CDP and B&W 801 Matrix speakers

@noromance   Hi. First   TY. Second. Yes they are those 2 story ones. 2 chassis on them. It’s also not an attic. I have my whole upstairs as 1 big listening room.

I have both the Ref 150 SE and Ref 80S with a Ref 6. The two amps have a very similar presentation. They both need a TON of break-in. 500-800 hours. I was a bit let down by the brand new Ref 80S at first. I was not patient enough. I can't prove this but I believe it is not just hours but also how many times it has been cycled on and off that accomplishes complete burn-in. ARC says many hours are needed in the manuals. 

I am sure you know this but the quality of the IC's between your Ref 6 and amps will be crucial. I prefer Cardas Clear Beyond XLR's. Again, ARC emphasizes the quality of the IC's in the manual.
