.
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.

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.

Thanks! for sharing-  lindemann001

this really says much, as the VAC, is no slouch. What other gear and cabling is in your system?

I am currently running AC Genesis speakers, Pass Labs XA200.5 mono blocks and Wadia S7i cd player with complete loom of High Fidelity CT-1 Ultimate Reference cabling throughout with great success.  I got a photo posted in the virtual systems section.
