| Power Cord Suggestions REF 5se Yes, caps are OEM, just like the ones that were in the unit. Only have 10 hours or so on new caps, rest of unit has around 800+ (at last look)I will sit on my hands until I get to around 200 hours then make a decision on where to go. I already hav... | |
| Power Cord Suggestions REF 5se audphile1Yeah, that was pretty much what I was going to do before making any changes. I have a PSA P20 that is currently out of the system, so right now everything is plugged directly into outlets.Rest of system is PSA DSD, PSA Memory Player, Nak ... | |
| Power Cord Suggestions REF 5se Unfortunately, I do not believe the pc I got with the unit is OEM. First owner bought as demo unit. Guy at repair shop had a factory that looked a lot heavier than the cord I got with the unit. Sent email to seller and asked, but I expect his repl... | |
| Power Cord Suggestions REF 5se I thought about that, but the 27 is going to second system to replace a 17se. I have heard of them, never really checked them out, but will now. | |
| Audio System Donation Interesting dilemma, I also approaching retirement and although I have thought about it from time to time, I suspect neither offspring would be terribly interested. They either stream from their phones to wireless systems they have, or just throug... | |
| New member - Dahlquist DQ10 questions Should you not have the stands, I have a pair from mine (when I sold then I guess the guy didn't want them) If in the NY area they are all yours, happy to give them to a fellow QC-10 owner. | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE I am not so lucky as the lead snapped at the top of the cap with nothing left to reattach | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE Well, I understand all the suggestions to send the unit back, but the seller is eager to make this right. Stopped by HEAR today, spent 2 1/2 hours with Ben and we found the failure. Apparently ARC never considered the possibility of rough handling... | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE Seller has started the claim with shipper, so he is holding up his end. Other than being disappointed I fully expect that this will end up working out in the end. | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE The seller had a lot of positive feedback, which I checked on before I purchased. He has been available during the entire process and I am currently waiting for a reply since I just found out that the issue was larger than tubes last night. I cont... | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE Well, it is official, problem is bigger than a power tube. Got replacement tubes, installed new power tubes and it made absolutely no difference. Will look for local authorized shop or send back to ARC if there are none close enuf.Put the LS27 bac... | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE Update, sort of.... I just installed a PSA P20 that I had ordered before the pre, was kina hoping it was a ground loop issue, but apparently not as noise is still there. The loud static pop sound is no longer evident so I guess resetting tubes hel... | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE tattooedtrackman Got a reply from ARC tech support, and the short answer is, to him sounds like the 6550 was damaged and a replacement is in order. I will know soon enuf. He wanted me to touch base after the swap as he did not recommend sending... | |
| Looking for Suggestions for IC's instlouis,I have a pair of single ended Kimber around somewhere, I used them with another ARC pre and there was an impedance issue so I never really got to hear them.soix,I am pretty happy with the Straightwire but my thought was to see if someone... | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE I tried plugging the amps into wall and the pre into my PS Powerplant and then the opposite, amps into PP and pre into wall. The 5se is replacing a LS 27, also a tube unit and I had no issues with that set up.Ordered a full set of tubes and will b... |
