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?

You might give Don Sachs a call.  He normally uses only one balanced In/Out pair but you can opt for more instead of RCA.  For a pure tube pre it is very quiet and clean sounding not syrupy and rolled off.  I purchased one just to play with and after a few months switching it in and out of my system sold both my ref-6SE and my PS-BHK to use only the Sachs which was a particularly good match to my system... that's the key, your mileage may vary.  It's only ~$3k loaded up.
