| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Trying to rate an improvement in terms of percentage is very subjective. If I'm listening to an amp that for some reason draws attention to itself, and the upgrade completely removes it then I may say wow that's a 100% better. In the case of my Re... | |
| Audio Research 75 SE It does appear that the wires from the ICs to the circuit board have been replaced with different ones, | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... About $1100 more than the Ref 75. | |
| Audio Research 75 SE the top cover is the same but there is more room above the tubes.. Calvin said they were lowering the board I believe..He said it would be identical the the new ones being produced. Mine was less than 4 months old when I sent it in. | |
| Audio Research 75 SE The amp was done in about a week..But I waited another week for the SE badges to come in.. Expect a week to 10 days I'd say. | |
| Audio Research 75 SE Sounds great!! I've been meaning to go to dinner but I'm having a hard time pulling myself away..This is just what I needed:-) No regrets here. Just one more cut then I have to go, Ha! | |
| Audio Research 75 SE Well I sent my Ref 75 back for the upgrade and just got it back today.. Its been on for two hours and I have to say I really like it much better than before. I used the KT 150 for a couple months before sending in for the upgrade( shh! Don't tell ... | |

| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? For life? Not sure if there is one. Depends on what comes out next. | |
| Audio Research 75 SE That's weird, I don't know why it tripled, but yes it's is Sooooo important, ha!! | |
| First ARC REF-75-SE coming my way. You might want to wait for the SE. I hear its pretty significant. Not only are the new kt 150's put in but the amp has some circuit changes done to re voice the amp for that tube. ARC says is the equivalent to the difference between the Ref 5 and ... | |
| Phono preamp question If you are using a passive preamp you will need lots of gain from your phono, also the sensitivity of your amp will also play a big role here.. do you have any trouble with line level sources driving you amps or do you have to turn it up quite a b... | |
| Tannoy Westminster SE vs. Sonus Faber Amati Futur I owned the Westminster SE and I would opt for the Sonus Faber in a heartbeat. I felt the Westminster to be so room dependent not to mention the ridiculous size. They are ruthlessly revealing of all FLAWS in the system and none are perfect. My exp... | |
| Soundlab speakers Any one ever head Sound labs driven by Spectral gear or is that not a good combo |
