ARC Ref 3 Display

I was wondering if anyone knows if turning off the display screen on the Audio Research Ref 3 while listening to music will help increase better sonics rather than leaving it "on" (showing volume setting etc...) Thanks in advance.

Have you tried it? Could you tell a difference?

I tried it with my LS-26 and personally couldn't tell a difference... maybe if I were an oscilloscope I could.

That is what I thought also. I think its use is only if you like your room pitch black. I notice no sound difference. I gotta say I like Jim's response however :)
