Audio Research thrives on customers like this. That's what keeps them in business. I'm not a hater I also own ARC gear.
Which ARC reference component to upgrade?
I have the ARC Reference 3 preamp and Reference 110 amp and am considering an upgrade in the ARC line. I can't do both right now. The question is, which change (Ref 3 to Ref 5SE; Ref 110 to Ref 150) would result in the best improvement in my system?

Ref 3
Ref 110
