Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice.

And costs only a few grand vs soooo much more for a ref 6se preamp.  Benchmark LA4 Does HT bypass very easily.  
I am at a profound loss.  what the heck is going on inside the Ref 6se box.  What the heck does it all do? 
6se is very pretty but Benchmark LA4 also looks nice. And the McIntosh c1100 preamp is also very pretty.  Frankly, what justifies buying a preamp at such a high price?? It is supposed to be a neutral pass thru of a signal.

These trolls seem to think that if they can play it on their Sony PS3, then, that's good enough and anything better is confirmation bias, when it's the other way around.

For them, audio devices are just appliances and nothing more, which begs the question already asked, what are they doing here?

All the best,

Big diff between Sony ps3 and better boxes for creating sound..

all about diminishing returns as audio gear gets higher, which trails off as human hearing declines when we get older.

sounds from high equip may be great, but our ability to hear can’t resolve a lot of these great sounds

many of us, older beyond 35, have hearing loss to a certain degree

So the question OP you should ask yourself is why trouble yourself with your questions about high end preamps when you apparently have no regard for them and therefore in making the purchase
