Ref 3 Phono
Credited To My-hiend
I can't read Chinese, but I think this is Ref 3 Phono. Is this at CES ? I cropped his picture so that it will be clearly seen. Toga Last edited by jdandy; 03-16-2016 at 07:14 PM. Reason: Enlarge photo. |

Hopefully we should start to see a good few Ref2 Phono bargains to be had this year.

Michael Fremer has a bit about it on his site. I plan on ordering it this week. I full expect that with this last upgrade it will be my last.

Personally, I think that their models change looks too often. 2 years ago I bought a Ref 2SE, being told that it represents sota a that next model would take years.

Quote:
From a marketing perspective they are a very smart company. They know certain people are locked into their product and when they come out with something new they know the customers have to have it. The company is in a great position. They just have to continually have new product. I am sure a lot of other companies wish they had that problem. |

Oil price has to improve before I can afford an upgrade.
