Any ARC GSPre owners here ?

Looking for anyone with the ARC GSPre and willing to give their opinion. I'm thinking about this or the Ref 5 SE but realize the Ref 5 SE is a little long in the tooth and bound to be updated or replaced soon.

Thank you.

As I understand it, from on line posts and a review of the GS pre and 150 Power amp,in the UK magazine, HiFi News, the changes are largely cosmetic. There may be differences in the sound, but they are not commensurate with the price difference between the Ref and GS lines. This comment only compares the GS power amp with the SE versions of the 75 and 150, not the original KT120 tubed versions.

Thank you for the clarification David. I agree.

To repeat what I posted above, I think the GSPre may be an expensive "pretty face." And the GS 150, also a pretty face, and Ref 150 SE may rough equivalents.

Kal will be back on Wednesday. Ask his opinion.
