Test results :
"The Reference 6 high-level preamp is a monument of current tube technology and an enrichment of the top class. It impresses with crystal-clear, spacious and highly dynamic sound performance, which, paired with excellent precision, leaves nothing to be desired. With its typical design, it proudly shows its origins , the workmanship is flawless, as you would expect from Audio Research."
" Somehow Audio Research manages to outdo itself on every occasion – at least in the last few generations of Reference series preamplifiers. The Reference 5 SE was among the very best preamps on the market, yet the Reference 6 takes it to another level.
To qualify this, the Ref 6 is substantially more transparent than its predecessor – you really hear into the recording (as an enthusiast and reader of these pages, I'm sure you know what I mean) – and thoroughly overshadows it when it comes to macro-dynamic expression and bass power and control.
By having the Audio Research Reference 6 preamplifier within the context of your system you'll feel well confident that it will never be the bottleneck inhibiting your stereo's full musical expression.
