Audio Research Reference 6 Preamp Review

Thanks for posting the link. Nice review, $14K preamp is bit a stretch for my budget.  

I am hoping for a review on LS28, it would be interesting to learn how does it fair against the Ref 6. 

In my experience several gears over the years, the combination of tube stage preamp and solid state amps gives you the best of both worlds.  

elem79, what is your opinion about SP-20?  There are couple of them on sale. I can't afford to buy a new Ref 6, so I am eying on LS28 or SP-20 to mate with my KWA150SE's.  

Did you by any chance audition LS28 before you bought Ref 6? 

Thank you for your feedback and enjoy the Ref 6.

jhconnor, typically one box solutions are not considered 'no cost object' designs. Let's be fair, how about asking this person a direct comparing between the 40th anniversary edition and Reference 10?

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

dev, thank you for your candid feedback. I am looking for a opportunity to audition LS28 and Ref 6.  

Initial reports do indicate trickel down technology in foundation series from reference line. 

bdp24, that's the crazy part of this hobby. LOL!!!
