SF Evos, ARC REF 150 SE, ARC REF 5SE, Basis, Keith Herron, Berkeley......

Bruce...very nice equipment and I totally agree with you on the Basis tts. I was impressed when I got my 2001. Engineering tolerances are impressive. AJ Conti knows his stuff. If I win the lottery some day, the Inspiration will find its way into my system but until then, the 2001 will have to do :D
 
Bruce,
How is the temperature in your room?
Did you fixed that issue ?

Love the finish of your Evos

Nelson,

I am not finding the temperature to be a problem. I have no idea why it seemed so much worse at the beginning. There was also an initial odor that is gone, but I expected that would be the case.

The system is still far from broken in. We have been going away just about every weekend for the last month and I am estimating only 125 hours total. I don't leave the ARC playing if I am not listening, like I did with my solid state systems. I am too lazy to open the 150 up for an exact number. I also have new Shunyata power conditioning and cables, with even less hours.

Nelson...I'm thinking of using this as my new Avatar, but it looks too much like yours. :roflmao:

Bruce...if you pull out the Ref 150 from the rack, and you have a flashlight, you should be able to see the hour counter through the slits in the top plate (at least that is the case with my Ref 110...maybe Nelson can confirm this). Alternatively, if you bought the Ref 5SE and Ref 150 together and you turn them both on and off at the same time (which is a pretty good assumption :D), you can just look up at the hour counter on the Ref 5SE from your remote. Enjoy.

Cyril,

Thanks for the tips. I had the 5SE in my system for a week or so before the 150, hooked up to my Mac 452. The info is helpful though, because once I find out the difference, I can always go by the Preamp number.
