| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! whitecamaross - welcome to my world, I have all Odin power cords and cables minus a V2 USB cable and realized the same fact or experience when I installed my first Odin power cord replacing Shunyata’s top of the line power cord. Odin power cords a... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @techno_dude - Ref10 is an audio dinosaur 🦕.. Old story in a new world were less is more.techno_dude - in a recent home audition of the highly regarded New ARC Reference 160M Monoblocks compared to my Ancient Industrial looking ARC Ref. 250SE Mono... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @grey9hound - If you were to use Purist Audio Dominus Interconnect from Lampi without the Ref 10....bet that you get what you are missingGrey9hound - Conversely, if you put that same interconnect between the Ref 10 to the amps and the Lampi to the... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Jafox, I concur with you and agree with WC going through the Ref 10. As an owner of the ARC Ref 10 and a dCS Vivaldi 2.0 DAC, going through the Ref. 10 is magical, and improves what comes out of the DAC taking me into the recording studio or live... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! In fairness the 160M’s may not have enough power to drive my speakers | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @grey9hound - “So you spent like $2k on 6H30P-DR?Grey9hound, I wish I spent 2k - the 6H30-DRs are $299 each from “The Tube Store” and you need 10 of them. The sound of the DR’s with the Winged C’s transformed my Ref 10’s drastically over the Ref 1... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Interesting WC. I rolled Winged C SED 6550C and 6H30P-DRs in my ARC Ref 10’s and there is a night and day difference/improvement in the sound of my Ref 10’s with the rolled tubes. Where did you source your tubes? | |
| PS Audio AC Regenerators Dweller - I did try staggering one-at-a-time with no change in the results. ARC amps drop my electrical outlet voltage reading by 5-6 volts when plugged directly into the outlets - so when I plug the amps into the P20 and turn them on they shut d... | |
| PS Audio AC Regenerators Garypennstate - I have the P20 and love it with one exception. I cannot plug my ARC 250SE Monoblocks into the P20 or it will shutdown. It does a great job cleaning up power and provides a darker background and allows greater detail, transparency... | |
| ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6 The 6H30P-DR’s can be purchased from the Tubestore (www.tubestore.com) out of Canada and they are currently $299.95 each - I have seen them on eBay cheaper but I rather spend a few extra dollars buying from the Tubestore.... they stand behind what... | |
| ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6 I started my ARC journey with the Ref 5SE followed by the Ref 6 and now the Ref 10. The Ref 6 is without a doubt the Best Buy of the three - the change from Ref 6 over the 5SE was a significant improvement, while the Ref 10 provides more of what ... | |
| Running DCS Vivladi DIRECT? I have run my Vivaldi DAC directly into my ARC Ref 250SE’s and felt running the DAC into my Ref 10 preamp gives better sound - I agree with Folkfreak the line stage in the Vivaldi is not as good as it should be - especially for the money. | |
| ARC Ref 6 and Ref 10 opinions , talk, stories, buying options and opinions I have owned the Ref 5SE, Ref 6 and now the Ref 10 and must say there is a noticeable difference between the units with the biggest difference noted when I went from the Ref 5SE to the Ref 6. However the Ref 10 takes it to another level by expandi... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Whitecamaross, as a previous owner of the GS150 and current owner of the Ref 250se’s, the 250se’s are THAT MUCH BETTER and the Ref 10 and 250se’s are magical. | |
