Audio research ref 6SE vs world


Which tube or SS line stage do you like as much or more and why? Any cheaper options that you actually preferred?

I have been running AR Ref 6 for a year and love it.  Mostly on vinyl programme.
I don't find the sound over SS like.  Sure it's tight accurate and clean, but it puts across the emotion in the music big-time.  But not with the character of lo-watt SE tube amps.
I know I can go to SE for $3,000 - I bought a year too soon.  I just don't want to be without the amp for the upgrade.
