Audio Research REF10 Phono Preamplifier

After all this time, ARC is proud to finally introduce the first two-chassis phono preamplifier in our history, the Reference Phono 10. From the first note on that treasured LP, its greatness is at once obvious and breathtaking. The Reference Phono 10 is a sonic blockbuster that establishes the new standard in analog music playback.   OVERVIEW Vinyl record playback has been an integral part of Audio Research since their founding in 1970. Think back to the great phono stages built into the defining preamplifiers of their day, among them the SP3, SP6, SP8, SP10, and SP11. Even after the introduction of the compact disc in 1982, phono sections remained a revered part of ARC’s preamplifiers. The first Audio Research phono preamplifier in a separate chassis was introduced in 1992. This model number was designated because it mirrors its line-stage counterpart, the Reference 10, providing an unsurpassed level of performance in its category. The front panel has a 7” diagonal touch screen moun
