Default Almost….

I almost pulled the trigger on a Ref 75 on Agon last week. Damn, these are BEAUTIFUL amps. If (more like "when") I do acquire one, it would be my first AR product. I'm pretty spoiled with Mc tubes…

Priaptor, Thanks. I knew the horse that lives in Minnesota was testing the KT150s on the Ref 250. I did not know how many hours they had logged. That is great news.

Do not audition ANY ARC gear, i made that mistake over the weekend and I will never be the same again.

cannot unhear.

If their ref level pre's are this good, listening to their ref level amps will be financial suicide for someone like myself.
