Audio Research Ref 6SE preamp gets a TAS recommendation.
great review love Tom...He really is spot on about ARC and the REF6 in this reviewAudio Research Ref 6SE preamp gets a TAS recommendation.
Congratulations on the upgrade!I just traded up my ARC Ref 5SE to the ARC Ref 6SE at my local (150 miles away) dealer. After 10 days of listening I am thrilled with this upgrade. I hear much better bass, more clarity and more texture in voices. I still have the Ref 2SE Phono preamp. It doesn’t match the style of the Ref 6SE. That bugs me but I do not spend much time listening to vinyl these days to warrant an upgrade just to have matching components. On the other hand, would the Ref 3SE phono give me a similar step up in sound for my records?
In my case, the 3 to 3SE upgrade was worthwhile. Perhaps as dramatic as my 6 to 6SE upgrade.I just traded up my ARC Ref 5SE to the ARC Ref 6SE at my local (150 miles away) dealer.
