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.

Cary ...

I swear to GAWD ... I can't tear myself away either. Had the system warmed up at 7:30 again this morning (Friday) and didn't jump into the shower and get dressed until 3pm. I need help! *lol* The sound stage depth is becoming quite unbelievable. Honestly, I feel blessed to have such a great sounding system to play my jewel collection on.

Bifwynne ...

Love the big Maggies. They remind me of when I had Accustat Fours in my system. On good nights with the lights out, and a small fire flickering in the fireplace, the back wall seemed to just fall down and the depth went on forever. They needed a TON of power, but man, those babies could play.

So I am trying to understand this. The original Ref 75 was 9k and the new SE model is 10k. I have heard the new upgrade is 2500.00. Someone would be better off selling their Ref 75 for 7k and just buying the new version for 10k.

It does appear that the wires from the ICs to the circuit board have been replaced with different ones,
