| $510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10? .ARC figures that if you could afford a $30k preamp, to ding you $500 for a lid, you probably wouldn't notice.. | |
| REL 212/SE .I Googled Seaton and there is nothing there. Their website is under construction. Not much info on their "forum".. | |
| The New Audio Research Reference 6 .The Ref Phono 2SE came out the same time as the Ref 5SE linestange in 2011.If ARC follows form, a new Reference Phono 3 should be out very soon.. | |
| REL 212/SE .I heard the REL 212-SE recently at a demo for some other speakers. I came away from the demo wanting a pair of REL's myself. In the demo, only 1 REL was used with the pair of speakers..and it handled itself quite impressively.. | |
| The New Audio Research Reference 6 ...a static no innovation or incremental improvement company is probably dead.BlackBerry owned the smartphone segment...rested on their laurels and didn't innovate. Their market share plummeted. . | |
| The New Audio Research Reference 6 .It looks to me as if Whole Foods had a load of sour grapes to get rid of. LOL! ..it happens here on the 'Gon every time Audio Research has an upgrade on their reference level products.. | |
| The New Audio Research Reference 6 .Taters, if the 5-SE goes for $7,500...that would work for me. I have at least $5k of equity in my Ref3. $2500 to move up to the 5-SE would seem reasonable to me.. | |
| The New Audio Research Reference 6 .Davey, your quote is hilarious!But, I'm a huge Audio Research fan. I did purchase a Ref3 when it was new, and I'm glad I did. At $10k, I still think it was a bargain and I still enjoy it immensely 9 years later. At $14k, I cannot afford a new Ref... | |
| Something new from ARC From the first note, it is clearly better than the REF-5-SE and in another league altogether....yowza!That was exactly my experience moving from the Ref2 Mk2 to the Ref3. If the Ref6 is that good, and the price is not out of reach, it should trig... | |
| The New Audio Research Reference 6 .Mofi, the LS10 had a Jekyll-Hyde personality. When it was good, it was one of the best preamps I'd ever heard. But it was sooo unpredictable, on some recordings there would be so many missing instruments and it drove me crazy. On some recordings,... | |
| The New Audio Research Reference 6 .This new look is going to have to grow on me.I love the look of the toggle switches of old also, but to me, the Ref 5SE was the best looking preamp ARC ever made. A close second is the very rare LS10Audio Research LS10. | |
| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs .Robert E. Greene of The Absolute Sound was also in attendance at the demo. He played a live violin solo along with a violin recording played with the speakers.. | |
| The New Audio Research Reference 6 .With the Ref 5SE at $13k, I wonder what the Ref6 is going to come in at?. | |
| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs .The super-tweeter used in the demo was the Enigma Acoustics.Enigma Acoustics Supertweeter . | |
| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs .The dealer did use Bob's tube amps in the demo, they are gorgeous.I did not draw a conclusion. I stated my opinion was inconclusive based on the listening conditions and the non-Carver components added to the system.Bob's website allows an in-hom... |
