Default One more time......new preamp on the horizon!!
After RMAF I came home with the upgrade itch. There were so many good sounding systems at the show and mine just didn’t measure up when I got home. So here we go........As I’m sure most have seen I bought a really clean used ARC GS150 amplifier. It has impressed me so much that I just had to order a Ref 6 preamp to go with it!!!

Here’s hoping I have the new preamp in the system in 2 weeks or less.

Congrats Steve:
If you think it sounded like a blanket was lifted when you switched amps, the Ref 6 will lift yet one more blanket. You are going to love it.

I'm really happy for you Steve! I hope your arm will fit back into the socket after I twisted it so hard. Ummm actually I think this pairing sold itself. You're in for a real treat.
