et88b...congrats on the decision to order the Ref 75 and SP20. Sounds like you will have a very nice combo. What speakers will you be driving them with? Thx

Congrats! That new pre-amp is really nice looking! Surely a good investment!

I agree that the classic ARC look is well "Classic".
Have a new old classic coming as just received my new "Legend" the D-150. What an amp. Going back to tubes.

Sorry…but it looks like a Sony HAP-Z1ES.

Lol! I'm with you. I love audio research but I can't stand by some of their decisions lately.

I am liking them a lot. They are better than the 3A Sig's I had.
Closer to the Quartos except for the powered bass although the bass the Treo's produce is very good.
