.
Audio Research unveils its latest Reference Preamp.

Audio Research Reference 6 Linestage -

Expect to see a slew of the Ref5 models hit the used market over the next year. I plan to move up to a Ref 5SE as they hit the used market.

It's amazing how AR brings more detail and musicality on each upgrade every 3 years. Can you imagine 20 years from now you will be able to hear a fart out of silence.

jafant, the preamp feeds a Ref75se.  I find Nordost works well with ARC.

Quite stunningly musical for the new ARC Ref 6 which outperformed my previous both VAC Signature MKIIa preamp and MBL 6010D by a wide margin. I could not believe my own ears of the different in sound quality what the Ref 6 could bring. The only other time that I heard a preamp that as fully satisfied as this is the $66K VAC Statement Line Preamplifier.
