CES 2014

Billed as a state of the art phono preamp, ARC's new Ref Phono 10 is a two box true dual mono hybrid design featuring a JFET front end coupled to a 4 6H30 tube output. Gain and loading is touch screen configurable. The Ref Phono 10 is fully balanced, has two sets of inputs and includes Decca and Columbia curves for pre RIAA (mid-1950s) mono records. Beware charlatans telling you Columbia used their own curve in the to 70s and 80s or that there is such a thing as the Decca FFSS curve for stereo era Decca LPs. This has been a recorded message.
