RE: New vs vintage ARC tube amps

I've not listened to the REF 75 SE , it's the version w/ the KT150 . I listened again to the REF 75 last night for the last time before I return it . Made comparison again w/ my D79B's and it is indeed leaner in the midrange and it seems to sound less powerful than my vintage amp . I was playing Muddy Water's Folk Singer LP last night and the old amp seems more robust , probably because of the big power transformer and power supply . But there seems to be more music information and detail coming from the new amp .
