Seems somewhat dammed by faint praise! I'm curious to hear other's take on this review. Not much discussion of the kinds of things we as readers are looking for in a review, e.g. handling of dynamics, bass, midrange, treble, etc. And it isn't really compared to anything else. Could have made a much shorter review by simply saying: Looks really nice, appears to be built really nice, sounds really nice too!
As for the Ref Phono amps by ARC, I for one wish there was a middle ground on the gain. Low seems a bit too low for my Benz LPS, high seems a wee bit too high.
