Suggested retail is $14.000 and it will start shipping next month. I have heard rumor of a matching Ref Phono coming soon. Looks a lot like the G series. I wonder how my Ref 5se will fair against it.

No mention of the caps. Is it still Teflon like the 40th/5SE or the new golden coloured ones in the Ref 10? I imagine the latter.
Will it outperform the 40? The literature suggests no?

Perfect timing REF6 with GS150 looks like a nice matching pair.

I would suggest no because of the power supply alone.

You see it on the mid right-side of the 6 as a white protrusion with nine holes, five over four. It's a common connector with a small footprint. Canna read its label but there is also one on the back of the GSPre identified as 'RS-232 control'. RS232 is a standard for serial data transmission. It could be an input for updating the linestage's operating system or possibly for diagnostics. Could be wrong but I'm (again) vaguely recalling the computer on the REF 5 ran on a version of Windows. Someone else may know better.
The DB-9 was used as a serial port on earlier PCs for peripherals, eg as an early mouse port or for a serial printer. Several connectors for these purposes have come and gone to where nowadays that interface is USB. It may also be called a DE-9, but asfain they're the same. |
