ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6

ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6
jmcgrogan2  Besides the motherboard being made green with the extra caps on the left wall they also changed their remote to the metal one. It makes you think why ARC did that ? I personally like the changes ARC made from the older brown version of... 
ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6
statman , Thank you for your input ..I am sure i will be very happy with the 5se. I am looking for one with a green board also. The one i am looking at has the metal top. Could i buy a plexi glass top from ARC?  
ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6
Look for the green circuit board and NOT the brown. Typo.  
ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6
jmcgrogan2 Thanks for your info. I want to ask you a question. Someone emailed me from here and said i should look for a 5se with the green circuit board and bot the brown. He said the green is the newer and modified with updates. Like the last ye... 
ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6
jmcgrogan2 . John , Yes i was comparing the ARC 6 to the ML 38s, as that was my only preamp i had been listening to for about a year and a half along with my Krell FPB 600. I too am sure the ARC ref 3 would of also blown away the ML 38s. Originall... 
ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6
jimgrogan2   Basically you are saying that the 3 compared to the 5 was not much of an improvement and the 5 compared to the 5se was not much an improvement either? I can get a new 6 for 1200. Almost double in price of a used 5se which im looking a... 
ARC Ref 5se VS ARC Ref 6

Mark Levinson 38s Question Real or Fake?
Mangon ...I too have the ML 38s preamp and when it turns it only says 38. I am the 2nd owner of this and the first owner bought it brand new as a 38s so im sure they never said 38s when first turning on. Also i have the original L plug and yes it ...

Izz0 Thanks for your post. I am running a Krell FPB 600 amp . So im sure that will be a killer combo like you said.  
ARC REF 3 vs ML 326s
Also i will have NO WAY to compare both of them side by side.  
Audio Research Ref 3 VS Mark Levinson 38s
Im thinking about the ARC Ref 3 with the speakers i have being the B&W 800 matrix. The majority of the music i listen to is classic rock. That being said, alot of classic rock recordings are not the best. I think introducing a tube preamp to m... 
Audio Research Ref 3 VS Mark Levinson 38s
Thank you all for your sound thoughts and advice. For those of you that said let your ears decide and listen to both would be impossible . I am lucky enough to buy one of these preamps let alone 2 and listen to them both to compare. That is out of... 
Audio Research Ref 3 VS Mark Levinson 38s
4425, jim_swantko   Would you please list your variety of reasons you would go with the ML 326s over the ARC Ref 3? I really would like my next preamp purchase be my last . Thanks...
