| Preamp Upgrade Advice =1 ARC Reference 5SE You can usually find one for around $5500-$6000. Will be hard to find something better in your price range. Conrad Johnson would be my second choice. | |

| Audio Research LS28/SE, Ref 5/SE … what do you like better? I recently upgraded from an ARC LS27 to a Ref 5SE. I had the opportunity to listen to it along with an LS 28SE at home in my system.
