Audio Research ARC Ref 5 versions?


Hi,
Would anyone know if, apart of the obvious SE version, there were differences between earlier units of the Ref 5 and more recent ones?
If so, when was the "cut" between earlier and recent?
Thanks.

I hope the new version is much better. Musically the LS27 bettered the ref 5, which I've never wanted to post til they either improved or deleted the 5.
Good to hear it's a winner.
It is unbelieveable if some said that ls27 is "better" than ref5, after all they're in different clads
Indeed the 5SE is already shipping. I've had mine for a bit over 1 week. It only took 2 weeks to get it after I ordered it.

At this point, I'm up to 65 hrs. It continues to get better.
