I should have done this a long time ago.

I'm waiting for a new rack but even with a compromise, the Audio Research Reference 3 Phono out of the box is just heart achingly beautiful in its presentation.

With my recent analog rig upgrades the ARC just takes everything up to the next level. Sublime.

You'll have to wait even longer -- I pay every tax year thru the nose & always ask for an extension to pay.

Best Sir,

Bob

The last post before mine was almost 1.5 years ago 🤣

Took me ages to get this phono but all I can say is - why did I wait so long!? [emoji33]
