Having used the Ref5 then Ref5SE and Ref6 now, all I can say is good riddance to the old flick knobs. Hated them. The new rotary dials are sooo much better to use.
And they also swapped sides for the input and volume. Finally. [emoji848]
To me there is nothing retro about them.
And I did love the look of the Galileo series. And I’m glad they retained some of those changes in the Ref6
