Congratulations Rance,

So the 75wpc from the Ref75SE is enough for the 4367?

I'm so happy for you!

As a "new to the fold" ARC owner - REF 6 and REFERENCE 75 SE now at over 400 hours - I concur.

Sitting here listening to Sinatra "Songs For Swinging' Lovers", which I've heard countless times, and I'm bowled over at how involving it sounds.

Thanks Joe!

Yes...the 75 SE seems plenty. In my large, well treated room I can get over 100dB at low 40's on the volume. And absolutely no congestion or hardening on the JBLs as you would expect.

Seems like after about 350 hours things really broke right. Tonal balance, clarity and coherence......maybe still not there, we'll see.
 
OMG! That’s awesome. Full break in should occur after 600 hours. Hard to believe but it’s true.

The Ref75 SE is a cracker of an amplifier, I wish I still had mine. The midrange is just so smooth.

Yesterday I passed the magic mark of 600 hours on the REF10. This preamp never ceases to amaze me. It does everything well - everything. Is it the best I've owned? Yes. Is it the best I've heard? Yes. It's perfect.

The REF6 is close to 500 hours and absolutely superb as well. It's so "alive" and dynamic. Amazing bass.

Thanks! ARC actually is very quick on shipping. They stock most items. Did you happen to catch my pictures from my visit to ARC last week? Amazing place.

Thanks for pointing the ARC trip thread out, Mike. I missed it. I guess for christmas I'll have to settle for a vacuum tube chess set. I have to wait until early next year for the Ref 10 phono which should be just long enough for you to complete the phono burn in and make your report.
