| Which ARC ref linestage to try: Ref3, Ref5, Ref5SE? HATE forward sounding systems The Ref 3 seems to fit your preferences better than the later ones. As you mentioned, the "supertube" models are more neutral and less euphonic than the earlier ones, so you might even look at a Ref 2 MkI. I would not describe any of the Ref pre... | |
| Integrated amp recommendation for Maggie .7's Audio Research i/50 is at the top of your price range, but would be a classic pairing with the maggies. | |
| FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound @verafiaudio Thank you for your response. Regarding the programming, is that done in production or can the end user alter the settings? I'm trying to determine if it would be possible to try it on a few different pieces of equipment to see ... | |
| FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound How is the fuse value set on the SD fuse box? Is it set from the factory or user-adjustable? Does anyone know the maximum fuse rating? | |
| Ref75se @skids congrats! I also think you're in for a dramatic change. | |

| Ref75se I haven't been able to bring myself to sell my '75SE. It's been in storage for a little over a year (since I got my '160S) but it's such a sweet little amp that I've become emotionally attached. Can't go wrong. | |

| Innovative Autio in NYC just hung up on me My phone has a volume setting, which I will occasionally use. | |
| Solving the "complex music problem"? I agree with erik, the room can be a major contributor to incoherence in a system. The best electronics can only take you so far if your room is the limiting factor. @ahuvia what are the dimensions of your room and what equipment are you using?... | |
| BS Node N130 USB to External DAC won't work Happy bluesound user here. No problems with USB connections to ARC CD9 or ARC DAC9. I did have problems initially, but a software update on the bs resolved it. | |
| Wilson Sasha W/P amplifier pairing Congrats! Use the 8 ohm output taps!! | |
| Has anyone kept the 6550 regulator tube past 2K hours in a ARC REF6? In my experience, sonics start to deteriorate around 1500 hours (on the 6550) the odds of a failure increase shortly after. Running the 6550 to failure is likely to damage the Ref 6. | |
| I love my analysis plus but... Glanced at a few of his other videos, it's a shame how many people he is misleading. Good example of knowing just enough to be dangerous. I do really like seeing how high performance cables are constructed, but I gave up after he said they are u... |
