+1

I can't wait to read other reviews. I know exactly what Ken meant when he said, "the music was rich with the textures and nuances that are often lost through an audio chain." This nails it.

That must an amazing preamp. I'd love to hear one. I love the touch screen.

Apart from the great sound, I'm in love with this baby touch screen.

That's a great read! ARC is sure making top shelf products. The construction and architecture looks so similar to the REF 40, save for the Teflon soup can caps! It will be interesting to hear people's description of sound character similarities/differences from those that have been fortunate enough to own both. Anyone gonna be first?
