On the delivery date on the REF-75 ... It takes four days from time of shipment to my front door. They keep telling me "any day now." Yes, there is a special "fancy" badge that will be attached to all new SE amps. These badges were designed in, and shipped from Italy. My understanding is that they have been hung up at Customs. So, as soon as ARC has the badges in place the amps will be shipped. At this point, the amps are all completed and just sitting awaiting these badges.
One thing I've learned over the years in my relationship with the folks at ARC ... they are very patient in their quest for perfection, service and reliability. You know how long it took for them to approve the KT-150 replacement in existing KT-120 amps, right? Well, my understanding is, they had over 5000 KT-150 hours on their test amps without a single failure before that final approval. Its a very conservative company and they honestly don't do anything without the end user in mind. There isn't a piece of equipment that gets shipped without an extensive listening to by WG... even to the extent of orienting the fuses in the best location for the best sound. Even every piece that's been sent in for repair gets the same treatment.
Like I said in another thread ... if the SE amps are as good as my source says they are ... get your checkbook out.
Yep ... a great community it is.
Take care ...
