About the REF3SE Phono
When Audio Research was founded in 1970, analog vinyl playback was the de facto music source of the time. Audio Research has either incorporated or built stand-alone phono stages since the very beginning and has continuously provided phono preamplification, even during the height of digital music. The Reference Phono 3SE is the next great advancement in analog playback and represents a new benchmark. With selectable loading options, multiple phono equalization settings, and high-performance specifications, it provides an unparalleled listening experience for audiophiles.
