| Problem with brand new black ARC Ref 6 @tattooedtrackman: "Warranty states in owners manual that it is limited to the original purchaser . And a photo copy of the dated purchase receipt. I do not think if you buy a unit second hand they will honor the limited warranty." I am sure you ... | |
| Problem with brand new black ARC Ref 6 Just picked up a dealer demo Ref 6 with 610 hours on it and some original ARC warranty remaining. Still getting used to the remote. I hope my wife never throws the metal remote at me. Darn thing is heavy.So far I think I am ok with the unit. I ... | |
| I hate biasing! As I mentioned in another Ref 6 thread re plexi covers, I just traded in my Ref 5SE for a Ref 6. While at the dealer, I saw that he had a pair of Ref160Ms tied into Magico S5 MK II speakers. Didn't get a chance to take a listen. Has anyone had ... | |
| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover Solved the whole plexiglass problem. Just traded in my Ref 5SE (which had a metal cover) for a demo Ref 6 (only 610 hours on it) . The dealer had asked ARC to switch out the plexi cover for a "standard" metal cover when he acquired the Ref 6. S... | |
| ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6 Copied over from another ARC thread:Just traded in my ARC Ref 5SE for a ARC Ref 6 today. Here are my reactions, … FWIW. Is the Ref 6 a better sounding unit than the Ref 5SE? IMO, yes. Here's why. First off, bass is tighter, but not in an exa... | |

| ARC Ref 6 plexiglass cover folkfreak writes that "[t]he cover has holes in it, so dust will get in anyway. At least with it off you can see and remove the dust, and if you’re bothered put it back, or another type of cover, when not listening"I own several ARC pieces and the... | |
| Audio Research Ref 10 vs 40th Anniversary preamp minorl, please clarify. Which unit did you trade in? What unit did you buy? I own a Ref 5SE and have been thinking about the Ref 6. Just curious if ARC would do a trade up my Ref 5SE to the Ref 6 and how much they would charge.ThanksBIF | |
| I hate biasing! Hey Liz, … is that you. Are you back?? I've been off the Gon for some time. If it's you, glad to see you posting again. :) BIF | |
| I hate biasing! I own a Ref 150 SE and have to bias 8 KT-150 tubes. Can't say I love manual biasing either. FWIW, I think ARC just came out with Ref 160 mono block amps that have an auto bias circuit. No more fuss or mess. Interesting change of philosophy at ... | |

| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen Thanks blackfly for the excellent review. I checked the Paradigm website. The Persona series is considerably more expensive than the old Signature line. I own the S8s (v3). It would be interesting to take a listen. I note that the Personas are... | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? Stan, ... even though you might not use the VPI fish line AS device thingy, I recall that you follow Harry's advice by putting a slight twist in the tonearm wire which creates a slight amount of AS force. My point is that while Harry is not a big... |
