I tried an ARC LS25 with a Pass Labs X350.5 and the bass was overbearing. I think this may have been due to the low input impedance of the X350.5 (20Kohms balanced). I believe the .8 variants have higher input impedance so they should fair better although I have not heard the .8 variants with any ARC preamp.

ARC SP20 and Plinius SA103. Works pretty nicely

Anyone run the 5se or SP20 with A47? I am considering this 2 preamp but any issues with impedance ? Thanks.

I just bought a Ref 5se and am using it with a pair of Bryston 7b3 mono amps. My first ARC unit. Lovely sound... quite an improvement from my old SS preamp..

I will upgrade to MX-R Twentys over the next 12 months, so wont bother with a twenty upgrade on my VX5. I suspect MX-R's with my Ref 3 will be damn near perfect. |

Just upgraded from the AR LS 27 to the AR Reference 5SE Preamp. AR Reference 5SE Preamp with Pass Labs X250.5 Amp.

Great choice in my opinion. I now have the MX-R Twenty’s which have replaced my VX-5 Twenty. The VX-5 is darn good, but the MX-5 has more refinement. Have you thought about upgrading your Ref 3?

Not really, I very much like my ref 3, is the ref 6 that much better?
