Thanks for posting Cyril. I can tell you that the reviewer did a nice job explaining what I've been enjoying at home with my 5 SE. I'm at only 200 or so hours. Can't wait to get to 500!

Mike

There is also a Ref 150 review in the same issue, and bunch of other stuff.

I highly recommend anyone who is not a subscriber yet to get a subscription. HiFi Critic is THE magazine to read.

I know it is expensive (compared to Stereophile $12 per year) but dare I say - you get what you have paid for.

The Ref5SE is an amazing piece of gear/line stage....I have passed 700 hours and I couldn't agree more to this positive review. Its tube and at the same time resolution, speed, and coherent music!!

I'm a huge nerd. Do they have a Zino or .PDF 'e'-version. So I can read on my iPad
