Hi everybody.
Currently I´m testing a REF 5 used unit to evaluate sound and finally buy a brand new 5se. From what I heard in comparison to my previous VTL 6.5 was a stunning sound, deeper and punchier bass, and finally the most impressive mid and highs, never fatiguing. Anyway sounds terrific. BUT I found a problem that´s happening and doubt wheter is the unit, energy or some incompatibility with rest of gears. Here I´m connecting REF 5 by XLR to Paganini DAC and to Krell EVO 600e amps. Here´s the issue: sometimes, when changing volume level during a track, after 30secs or so, the sound cuts for a milisecond time and returns "instantly". I dont know if It really has to do with this unit, but I´m really worry If will get the same issue on my possible brand new unit. Never experienced It before with any preamp.
