I recently picked up a clean GS150 amp and my choice for a mating pre is a new Ref 6, which should arrive next week. I know they say the GS150 and GS Pre are styled to go together but I always see the GS Pre as being upside down. And I already have a separate phono pre so the Ref 6 it is for me.
which Audio Research pre-amp?
I've pretty much narrowed down my next pre-amp purchase to an Audio Research 6 or GSPre. Ultimately, this will be paired with an Ayre VX-R. For the sake of marital harmony I need to spread the purchases out over a few years.
Is the 6 that much better than the GSPre? I like the idea of having an integrated phone section but I read that the 6 / Ref 2 SE combo. blew away the phono section of the GSPre. I don't listen to vinyl that much. My current phono pre-amp is a Pass Aleph Ono. thanks.
