Hum in ARC Ref 3 not on 0 but 1-103 light buzz
There is no way that a change in cable will make that hum disappear. If you believe that, then I have a bridge to sell you here in San Francisco 
ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply?
Stick with what ARC provides Guido 
Hum in ARC Ref 3 not on 0 but 1-103 light buzz
Have you tried listening with the LED turned off? There is noise given off by the LED. Seems odd to me that a ground loop hum starts at 250 hours of tube life. Have you called Leonard at ARC? If the cheater plug makes it go away, then yes it is a ... 
Audio Research amp's retubing experiences
When I owned my Ref 600 Mk lll's I retubed with KT 88's which produced much sweeter midrange but at the expense of bottom end. Nonetheless, much better result than the 6550's provided by ARC 
Top Speakers for Nearfield Listening in Small Room

VTL Siefried vs Audio Research 610T
KhrysI suppose it is all a matter of taste. I owned the Ref 600 Mk lll and had a 610T on order until I heard the Lamm ML 2.1 on my Wilson X-2's and I cancelled the order as IMO there was just no comparison. Prior to the Ref 600's I was driving my ... 
VTL Siefried vs Audio Research 610T
I do agree with you on the CAT JL 3's. I too have a friend with theseamps driving Rockport Hyperions and the sound is exceptional. 
AR Ref 600 question's
Gerrym5I can honestly say that I have heard most of the best systems in this country and would like to think that my system ranks with some of the best until this past week when I have had the rare pleasure of auditioning serial numbers 1 and 2 of... 
AR Ref 600 question's
AlexI own the X-2 Alexandria which I drove initially with ARC Reference 600 Mk lll and now with the Lamm ML 2.1...the first amp at 600 wpc push-pull and the second an SET at 18 wpc. Bear in mind that the X-2 is rated at 95 DB so suffice it to say ...

AR Ref 600 question's
I owned the Ref 600 Mk lll and like you found similar esults and retubed with KT 88's. Made a world of difference. Eventually I sold the Ref 600's and bought my present amp...the Lamm ML 2.1 which IMO is a much finer amp 
VTL Siefried vs Audio Research 610T
"Dave Wilson is running Siegfrieds with Alexandrias in his home. AFAIK his previous amps were Lamm ML2.1. Call John at Wilson Audio and ask - he knows David's sytem very well."that's correct ....BTW, they still use the Lamm ML 2.1 in the sound roo... 
Top ten tube preamps
Hands down the Ref 3Best preamp I have ever owned 
The best speaker you ever heard?
GerryNot sure if it was a typo BUT there never was a Wilson Grand Slamm (proper spelling) VII. Prior to my X-2's I owned the latest version of the Slamm which was X-1 Series III which was pretty spectacular but not in the league of the X-2. Once t... 
Watt/Puppies with SET or push-pull???
At 93 Db your WP's will work just fine with SET ampsFWIW, I drive my Wilson X-2's with Lamm ML 2.1's (18 wpc) and I can raise the SPL to near ear bleeding levels without the amp clipping. Previously I used ARC Ref 600 Mk lll's (push pull at 600 wp...
