Woohoo Nelson!! Am looking forward to your thoughts when it has a few hours on it.
 
Don't see the meters going over ¼

Have more juice than the REF150

Comes with a tube cage but I take that away, I want to see my new K150 glowing :)

Very similar sound like the REF150 but only have a couple of hours yet and my REF150 is over 1k hours
Have more deep end bass, that is for sure.

Quality of craftsmanship beyond my expectations but don't like the speakers terminals

The tube hour meter is in the back for easy read, nice

Have a switch in the back to put the GS150 to sleep when is not receiving any signal for a while. You can defeat it and it saids
that is not in the path of the audio line.

I think is going to be a hit for ARC

Tomorrow I will open the box of the GSpre

more goodies , !!!!!!

:)
 
Nelson what are the list prices for the GSPre and GS150? Also do you know the price of the GSi75? Audio Beat had reported:

GSpre: $18K
GS150: $25K
GSi75: $19K

but that was back when these were still in pre-launch stage so not sure if the prices changed or not. Thx

Good luck with that. They don't glow like others & remain cool too compared to scorching temps.
 
There is always that possibility Cyril.

I first listened to the Alexias with the Ref 150. They sounded quite good with it until my dealer swapped it for the DAG amp. There was a significant improvement in the soundstage, depth and bottom end. Mark (MPD) was with me during this audition.

On this day, I fundamentally made a decision to stop looking for a new amp to drive my then Salon 2s and get the Alexias with the DAG amp.

Nelson - Very interested in how it drives the Alexias.

Drives them easily, I'm a little mad
because I'm using less than ¼ of the
Output and want to see the needles
Move back and forth in long length
But the Alexias are very efficient.

That's why the REF75 is a good match
for the Alexias.

Nelson,

Would like to get your perspective on the GS and the Stereo DAG in the future with the Alexias. I'm sure both would be fantastic but different.

Thx!

What if you roll KT150s in REF150?
 
So do we believe it's okay to put KT-150's in the Ref75 and Ref150?

Recently I purchased Ref250 after my source confirmed it's ok to roll KT150. Huge SQ improvement plus tube last 4,000+ hours. I have 220 hrs on the amps so no tube rolling until 600 hrs. Already have 70's 6h30-dr and Tung-Sol NOS 6550 warming up in the bullpen.

Albert Porter has 600+ hrs on his Ref250 and he's rolling KT150 next week. Tubes in transit and scheduled to arrive next Tue. We have different sources confirming it's ok to roll KT150.
 
Oh, oh oh, too cool Nelson. Now I'm getting a little ARC chubby again. And with my KT150's due for arrival today, it might be hard to walk around!

KT150 rollers, did you bias the same as your 120's?
