| Sold in one day 6000.00 for a Ref-75 is a very good price. Most of the time they are asking 7000.00. I don't know if they actually get that price. | |
| Sold in one day Mitch T, there is one for sale right now in the classifieds. | |
| Sold in one day Jdoris, I think the people who are asking top dollar just sit on the piece. I have sold quite a few Items on here and if I am willing to be reasonable the Item usually sells in a couple of weeks. I would rather turn the Item rather than holding ou... | |
| Sold in one day Dweller, because they had a feature ad and those aren't cheap. | |
| Sold in one day Plato, that one is black and they seem to sell at a discount. Most ARC people want silver. | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Wolf Garcia,I am sure you can find an amp for less money than the ref-75 that sounds as good. The only thing is it won't say Audio Research on it. | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Wolf Garcia,Actually Ferrari's are not hand made. They are made by robots. If you want to buy a hand made sports car you would need to buy a Lamborghini. Lamborghini management will not allow a robot at their factory. They are strictly handmade. | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Oregonpapa, I have a bit of an argument with you. If the gold prices were adjusted for inflation the price would be 3000.00. Gold is currently trading at 1200.00. Gold is down 35 percent from it's recent highs. Sure if you got out at 1800.00 an ou... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Kng hifi, I don't think companies are pricing themselves out of the market. They would prefer to deal with people with large pockets. Who needs the middle class when you can deal with the 1 percenters. | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Oregonpapa, you make an interesting comparison between the corvette and the Ferrari. For 100k you can buy a Z0-6 Corvette which is faster than the Ferrari and will also beat it at the track. The only thing the Ferrari has over the Corvette is brag... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... David 12, you make a good point. I bought my ARC vt-100mklll in 2002 and I paid 6000.00 for it. If I wanted to upgrade to a Ref-150 I would have to spend 13k on it and possibly more if they are only offering the SE model at this time. I would love... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... A brew 19, you mentioned that Oregonpapa might not have good hearing at 76. I bet he has better hearing than these punks that drive around blasting their rap through 10 sub-woofers and multiply high powered amplifiers. | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Dave F, I agree price isn't everything when it comes to sound quality. But Oregonpapa is running top of the line gear so you would assume he would be using a top flight cartridge. If he was running a Rega brio with Kef Ls 50 speakers I would of no... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Oregonpapa, you obviously have a great system. I am just wondering if your cartridge is really up to par with the gear you are using. I figure between your amp, pre-amp and phone pre-amp you are into it retail price of 29k. But then you are using ... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... David 12, makes a good point. The baby boomers are at retirement age and most are not going to make big purchases anymore. The generation after the baby boomers have no Interest in high-end. They didn't grow up with it. I have no Idea what these h... |
