Hi ARC fans,

Rumours of a reference 3 phono stage at CES - anyone got the scoop?

Cheers

I have seen pics online, I am curious if it will have balanced inputs as well as balanced outputs.

I also would like balanced inputs as my arm is wired direct to xlrs. There are not so many fully balanced phonos out there with xlr in and out especially with tubes circuits. Thrax Orpheus is one.

The Atma-Sphere MP-1 is a true preamp with XLR inputs for phono.

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

For balanced ASR basis or modwright (based on reading, not experience, though Marty loves his ASR (not sure if it's the same balanced model))

There are quite a few ss balanced, Ked, just not balanced using valve circuits.

Modwright also does not employ xlr inputs.

Here is some coverage - I really like the look of it but I guess it will perturb the old skool ARCers.

I saw one on Audiogon last week for 6500.00. That seems like a very good deal.
