Audio Research Ref. 3, Ref. 5, or the Ref. 5se.

I am looking to add a Audio Research preamp. Looking at the Ref. 3,5,5se. The 5se is a bit high in price.

I have a Wadia S7i CDP up front with Pass Labs XA100.8 amps. I am using Vandersteen Quarto Wood CT speakers. Witch Audio Research would make the best sense to go with.


Thanks for the help Russ.

An ARC 5SE with 2200 hours on it, should`nt the tubes be switched out now?

Anyone hear any comparisons - Arc Ref 5SE to the PS audio signature preamp?

I just purchased an X350.5 with dynaudio 5.4 and I need a preamplifier to make these babies sing. I have looked at so many and don`t have the time to audition. Has anyone ever heard of Zanden line stage 3100?, NAT? Primare A32? Lamm, Any input would be appreciated. I listen to mostly 90 rock, alternative,some country no Jazz.
