Great write up Serge !
Now you gave me the will to listen to the Ref 5 !
Someone told me that he listened to the 2301's with both the 500T and the Ref 5 and the Ref5 outperformed the 500. It seems that you found the same.
This guy now says all the time : " Preamps = ARC. Tube amps = McIntosh".
I have to arrange a demo of the Ref 5.
Thanks a lot !
