| Audio Research Corp Ref 5 SE I have an order in for the Ref DAC...will replace the DAC8Hoping for April delivery | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps 4blueI bought the Ref 150 in July at the same time as the Sashas and had them in the same system unitl November. The system is a hybrid 2Ch/HT system with Wilsons throughout. I love the 150 and at normal listening levels...I feel its very close to... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps Kenny,Enjoy your system...I think our system structures are remarkably similiar. I have a hybrid system similiar to yours which does double duty as HT/2 channel system. I have an Ayre KX-R in between the Classe ST-SSP and the ARC Ref 250s...When t... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps Cool...it's great to find a component that really works in your systemI will let the SE break-in some and then bring the AE over to compare. I won't be able to replicate your experience as I will use Ref 250 monos for the "cage match" and I think ... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps SmoffI am not familiar with your speakers or amps so tough to make a call. What I can say is that GNSC makes real improvements and will typically make improvements that ARC could not at it's product design price points. Sadly, Steve and ARC no lon... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps KennyI would not ever use the word thin with ARC Ref series. I do agree that a lot of the improvement you hear is due to AE being so neutral that it gets out of the way and just presents the performance...no signature at all. The AE is a great pre... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps I have access to Ref 40 and just picked up Ref5SE...When listening to 40 v 5(non SE). I would say the 5 got about 80-85% of the 40...but was weaker primarily in lower register definition and transparency...the 40 just has very little signature. I ... | |
| Audio Research Corp Ref 5 SE CoolI have the VS115 and love it. It was paired w/ Ref2 mk2 and Wilson Duettes..Your system is resolving enough to benefit from SE upgrade.I will say that upgrading to Ref150 amp would be bigger improvement but likely more $$$ even netting sale of... | |
| Audio Research Corp Ref 5 SE My ref 5se arrived today at dealer...picking it up tomorrow. I have a KX-R fronting Ref 250s and the ref 5 SE will front a ref 150 at my cabin.I will let you know my thoughts on differences...I listened to the Ayre on the 150 for several months un... | |
| Audio Research Corp Ref 5 SE BifwynneI listened to Ref 5 and phono 2 extensively prior to ordering. Once the 5 SE version arrives...I will give my thoughts...will be in similar system to demo system,..but won't have as direct head to head. | |
| Anyone else pairing the new AR Ref 150w/sasha? I made a few changes since initial install. First, the Ref 150 is awesome...and plenty capable a driving the Sasha's. I did however decide to move the 150 to my cabin paired with a ref5 SE and Wilson DuettesI added a Ayre KX-R in front of the Clas... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps ~13k as compared to ~12k for non-SE versionIf the difference in Ref5 SE version is anything like what I am hearing from the Ref phono2 SE...it's the best 1k I've spent. | |

| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps My understanding is upgrades will very likely be available...but no official word on price or availability | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps I received the ref phono 2 SE 3 weeks ago and my Ref 5 SE shows up on Tuesday. When I ordered both about 6 weeks ago...my dealer called me back and said the SE was available...but not officially announced. Seemed like a no brainer. I also have Ay... |
