Audio Research REF 6 Preamp

I bet it's amazing.

I have to say, I think the GS150 is one of the greatest amps I've ever heard. One of those amps that comes along once every 10 years or so. One of those amps that is so good, even the designers can't believe how good it turned out.

ARC is really on a roll lately. Good on them. Every piece of ARC gear I've ever owned, has been world class - regardless of price.

I concur. THE GS 150 is the best amp we have used in our primary demo room. We will be partnering it with the REF 6 pre in the near future.
CHEERS...........

Mike -

I agree with you. I heard the GS150 with the ARC Ref 10 and Wilson XLFs - the system sounded fantastic. While the XLFs are very efficient, the GS150 rocked! Transparent, dynamic with "cojones" on the bottom end. And, it looks terrific!

My sense is that the Ref 6 and the GS150 will be a killer combo.

Yes, the GS150 sounds great. But the GS preamplifier was not good enough to extract its full potential - I listened to the GS150 with the REF5SE and the GS preamplifier and the difference was very large. Now with the REF6 SE everything seems in place.

Do we have any picture of the inside of the REF6 SE?

Pictures of the inside have been posted and it's not the Ref 6SE. It's just the Ref 6 for now.

So ARC went from the REF 5(SE) to REF 10 and now back to REF 6? REF 10 is still their flagship (being dual box)?

I have had my Ref 5SE for 19 months and it was on the market for sometime before I bought mine. The Ref 6 was just announced.
