Just picked up my REF40 today.... Wow!
I traded my REF5 for an Anniversary REF40 today. It took a couple months to get it but WOW it sure was worth the wait. Right out of the box with 0 hours it sounds better than my REF5. Soundstage deeper/wider, Bass tighter, highs smoother. Instruments startle me at times... I am sure with break-in time it wil only get better. I asked my wife to sit down to see if she could tell the differece. She said she can't explain it but it sounds better (she then described a wider sound stage and smoother sound). The rest of my system is EMM Labs DAC2/TDS1, Lamm 1.2s, Sasha's and REL G1 Sub.

I knew the event was postponed from Spring. I hope it does not coincide with my October vacation now. Was Larry back from Vienna and Munich when you picked up your unit? Jim |

Chuck...congrats on a great preamplifier. I wish I could pull it off right now but I can't, and they are no longer taking orders on new ones. Maybe I will get a chance to buy a used one down the road. Congrats again on a great addition to your already excellent system

Thanks! I went back and forth several times, even after ordering it, but decided to go for it. So far I'm a happy camper. |

Congratulations Chuck !
What a nice purchase ! I never heard one but technically, this preamp seem to be among the very best. If I do replace my C1000 one day, that could be with this one. Enjoy it in good health !

Congratulations !
Between 100 to 200hrs, it sounds airy & bass is nice. 200 to 300 hrs, lost the air & sounds a little off. 300+ hrs, magic starting to appear... Regards, Joe Ling |
