This Ref 75 taught me that musicality doesn't have to be $$$$$
I never imagined that after year long of search for new amp, I will end up with
this little amp. Next is , what speaker cables to use with this new amp, definitely not gonna buy one more Transparent MM2 for sure, May be Kimber Select or Shunyata Zitron, may be. Oh and also, have to find amp stand for it too, could be HRS S1, TAOC, or one more Finite Elemente.

Toga,

IMHO, I would not do it. Teflon is a material that can easily resist the temperature in the neighborhood of the tubes, and thermal sleeve will not help. If you wrap these cables you will change the intended geometry and dielectric materials - do you think that ARC would use this expensive looking wire if they could use cheap thermal sleeve instead?

If you want to move them a little closer I would suggest a simple cotton wire tie, as old school Japanese audiophiles love to do.

Happy to know you love the REF75!

Yes, it did indeed.
