| Audio Research Corp Ref 5 SE Sounds like a really cool unit with lots of features. Hopefully, it doesn't have too many bugs. I just placed an order for theDAC 8 a couple of weeks ago.How do you like the DAC 8? | |
| Audio Research Corp Ref 5 SE Karsajid,There is a bit more low end and a fuller sound overall compared to to the lower end Shunyata cords. Jtimothya,The cord is Anaconda CX, not the latest one. I don't know if the ZiTron version is available yet. | |
| Audio Research Corp Ref 5 SE Maybe they are at the CES drooling over the new ARC REF DAC. I wish I had more time to enjoy my 5SE. I just got a shunyata anaconda cx for my 5SE. | |

| Audio Research Corp Ref 5 SE Doggiehower,The REF 5SE is an amazing piece. It's worth the wait. I waited over three months for my unit. I have 40 hours on the unit now and it's sounding better everyday. Only another 560 hours of break in to go. | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps Kenny,The price increased by $1k to $13K. I think the increase was reasonable. | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps Kenny,You are correct. There is no way all the parts from 40AE can fit into a single chassis. The SE has similar Teflon caps used in the AE and has an additional board with lots of electrolytic caps. I have not heard the AE but the SE won't top th... | |

| Audio Research Reference 5 Preamp I received my Ref 5SE a few days ago and you are correct about the Teflon caps. It sounds really good with only a few hours on it, | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps Ritmo,The Ref5SE is a Ref 5 with power supply upgrades using parts from the 40th Anniverasy preamp. There are also a few cosmetic changes. |
