Hello all, my arm has been twisted and I am taking advantage of the trade up program from audio research and I am thinking about trading my Ref5se and upgrading to the Ref6 to mate with my GS 150 amplifier. My dealer thinks I should get the GSPRE but I have read that sonically the Ref6 out performs it. So, without listening to the GSPRE I was hoping for a little input before I pull the trigger on one of these pieces. I do not have a turntable as yet. I toyed with the idea of getting a turntable but that has subsided since I got the esoteric K0x as my main source/ DAC. So taking the phono stage out of the equation what would be my best Avenue? Thanks in advance for any input, Pete
