System edited: I recently changed my cdp to the Estoteric X-03SE and the ARC Ref 3 preamp. I have never been so satisfied with the sound.

Beta Testing

Mitch, how do you like your ARC Ref 3??? Any complaints? I am seriously thinking of getting one. In my auditions, it came the closest to sounding like my reference, the Einstein The Tube preamp.

Pipp0r, I used to own the BW 805S which are very nice as well. I also used to have the 804S and 802d. The Ushers are better suited to my tastes. The 6 series Ushers are very good as well. Good luck!

nice, clean looking system. What do you think of the Ushers? I have the BE-10. I think the Ushers have to be one of the best kept secrets in audio. You cant beat the price/performance!
