ARC Ref 5se better than ML #28?


I have a Mark Levinson #28 preamp which I have been using for some time and have been happy with. Recently I was offered an Audio Research Ref 5SE in good condition. Would this upgrade be a substantial improvement? I am using an ARC ref 75SE power amp.
Would be grateful for guidance.

Yes,I think so.From a sophisticated standpoint, the ARC is a bit more human and natural with the support that is top shelf.
 Of course, you may be sentimentally attached. Perhaps you need some courage
 But you will have to be the horse that drinks the water. What do you have to lose?
