Audio Research Reference 6SE Line-Stage

Discover why Audio Research enjoys a long tradition of producing the finest preamplifiers in the world. In 1973, the SP3 was hailed by every major critic as the best preamplifier available, and this pursuit has continued ever since. The Reference Series from Audio Research was first introduced in 1995 and has been the ultimate expression of performance, musicality and dynamics. Reference preamps have awakened countless listeners to the irreplaceable contribution of a great preamp to a system’s final performance. The Reference 6SE is the latest chapter in our story. The Reference 6SE delivers the highest performance ever available in a single-chassis preamplifier. Benefitting from research that went into the Reference 160-series amplifiers, and the Reference 750SEL amplifier, the 6SE incorporates a myriad of new components that have been judiciously incorporated into its design. With a single gain stage, the 6SE is a fully-balanced, Class-A design with zero feedback. In
