Has anyone compared the Ayre KX-5 and the Moon 740-P

  I have decided to go back to solid state and sell my Audio Research REF-5se. I had posted a thread some time back on whether to do this or not and prefer not to discuss the pros and cons of Tube vs SS.
  So I have kind of honed in on these two as the next move. I will do an in home audition before I decide, but would like to hear some opinions from those that may have heard both. And if you have heard the REF5, what are your thoughts on what to expect in sonic differences between the ARC and the solid state units mentioned.

thank you

i would submit, not having been there when/where you did this ’demo’ -- that the demo was not set up correctly if you came to your conclusion so quickly so clearly... but hey, i wasn’t there, if you’re happy with the result and your buying decision that is all that matters
