I can't imagine better sound that what I have now.
Is addicted, the more the tubes get warmer the sound gets better.
I tested the REF5se and is not fair comparison.
IMHO there is no comparison with anything.
I can hear micro details at 10 step of volume, yes just 10 steps.
I now the price is not cheap but life is beautiful and we need to enjoy it to the fullest.
For what else we work so hard , right?
I will try tomorrow to upload video with sound.
Any request ?
P.S.
Sorry about my English, I'm from the Caribbean.

Amado,

No apology necessary. You are doing perfectly. I am glad you are happy with your beautiful system. Thank you for sharing with us.

so the ref 5se was good, but no cigar?

[Amado]

the REF5se is the best upgrade from ARC yet.
but is not in the same leagues as the REF10
is not a fair comparison.
When you spend that kind of money you only expect Audio Nirvana.

Agree with Amado. At over twice the price of the 5SE, I would expect the 10 to be noticeably better. The 5SE is an outstanding unit - no disappointment here.
