Hi Turntable, then I guess there is something worng in your system set up. My reference is REF10 from ARC, sublime !!! Systems I tired REF5SE inclide: MSB Diamond DAC, Walker TT, phono stage with Goldfinger Statement, ARC REF10, Krell 402e, D'Agostino Momentum monos, Constellaiton Centaur, Avallon Isis, Magico S5 and Q7, YG Anat III Sig, Grande Utopia, etc. I respect CJ a lot, but there is nothing wrong with REF5SE at all in all kind of systems ...
Also, Nordost does not have the balance and does not sound musical at all, may be you should try something esle to see what's possible from CJ ...
