Audio Research Reference 6 Preamp Review

I would take comments like, I spoke with someone who remains nameless at Audio Research that fairly matter of factly one is better than the other with a grain of salt.

The only way to know is to compare for yourself.

However I do know someone who owns a REF 10 and said that the REF 6 is 90% of the REF 10. Which really represents an amazing value all things considered since not everyone wants or has the space for a 2 box preamp.

Also worth mentioning is that if you have any of the newer ARC products they look even better when they match. :)

elem79, I am digging the 'new' look as well. 

I would certainly have to demo the Ref6 and Ref5 SE side by side for further evaluation.

lalitk, me too!  The craftsmanship and precision that when into the 'new' design is only fully appreciated in person.
