I own the Ref 10 Pre and am giving serious consideration to the Ref 10 Phono. I believe Frank750 has owned both the Ref 10, Ref 10 Phono, and the Ref 2 SE. He has told me the Ref 10 Phono is very good. His comment to me:

depends on the rest of your system.
if the other gear is on that level, then sure you need it. |

From ARC's site:
"eleven stages of power supply regulation in the ref 2SE.....twenty stages of for the ref 10 phono." "(Ref 10 Phono) has sufficient energy storage for a serious amplifier, fully twice the capacity of a Reference Phono 2, providing incredible dynamic headroom." But can much of this this headroom be realized through the large energy reserves in the ref 10 line stage ahead of the phono given the phono is amplifying such an very low voltage initial signal?

IE before line stage, if signal is not preserved at its best, Ref10 line stage's high reserves will not help. That is where phono stage comes, better the stage and more reserves better the amplification. That being said, whether it is worth spending extra dough on Ref 2 SE, it depends. I also ordered Ref 10 phono stage, will share my experience with the unit as well as comparison to Ref 2 SE. |
