The 'leave it on all the time' was one of my deciding factors between a used REF3 or my bryston BP-26

Posted by Elizabeth on July 16, 2012 at 04:33:12:
I still waffle over should I have gotten the ARC REF 3.. or just be happy with my Bryston BP-26.
On of thosse watershed moments in highend audio.
I can say i love my setup. so it boils down to just a what if...
But it still nags me (because the used REF 3 was the first choice, and the Bryston the second..in my fantasy picks anyway..)Bwah hah hah...
I came within the
item for sale/ money not here until next week sort of thing and the money which was supposed to be here and was 'delayed' (so the company could still make $ on interest holding it as long as legally allowed)
So i missed the local REF3 on sale.. (damn damn damn)
Anyway, after HEARING the Bryston BP-26, and thinking over paying for changing tubes on the REF3.. and loving to leave stuff on 24/7.. that part helped to swing for the Bryston. (plus the 20 year warranty on my 'last' ever preamp)
I would have had to buy the REF3 unheard... That also might have made a difference.
