Ref Phono 2se replaces my Fosgate Signature

[The Lost Bears]

Friday I procured an Audio Research Ref Phono 2se to replace my Fosgate Signature phono preamp. Thanks Tim! This is the last major upgrade I am going to do for quite a while.

The Ref Phono 2se is just truly amazing. The sound stage is bigger and more detailed. The instruments have more air around them. The bass is tighter, crisper and better defined. My Fosgate signature is a nice musical phono stage but the Ref Pnono 2se is just so much better in every way. Like my matching Ref 5se, it lets you peer deep into the music and hear things you have never heard before.
