It's definitely on the radar screen Dan

jpgr4blu...sounds like you have a killer system. Looking forward to your comparison of the Ref 110 to the new Ref 150 By the way, do you have the 6550s in your 110 or the new KT-120s?

Hi Cyril:
I have the ARC- bred kt 120s currently in my Ref 110, but I still have the 6550s which are not at the end of their useful life. I will do a comparison between the units with the kt 120s.

Just arrived today! Waiting all day for this bad boy and it arrives as we're walking out the door for dinner...

Wanted to skip dinner but got the evil eye from the wife and kid!

nice!

please keep us posted regarding your initial impressions though having the same couplings caps first used in the RefAnn should mean similar break in period.

I'm also seriously considering this amp.

Hi Cyril:
Have not yet received Ref 150. Called dealer today to get update as it was supposed to ship on May 28. Work has kept me too busy to care about pushing for delivery. But I'm starting to get antsy so I'll bother dealer some more on Monday.
