The Reference 10 is powered by a fully dual mono circuit. Dual, separate low- and high-voltage transformers are used for each channel; a dual mono stabilization circuit (one 6H30 and one 6550WE per channel), a dual mono gain circuit (four 6H30 per channel), and a powerful electrolyte bank.

    The PH9 phono corrector is an excellent solution for matching most cartridge and player combinations to your system. The 6H30 vacuum tube trio is at the heart of a simple and clear signal path to ensure the most transparent pre-amplification.

    Audio Research Reference Phono 3SE

    Audio Research Reference Phono 3 SE is a tube phono corrector. Phono 3SE has a design developed from scratch, absorbing the successful findings from Reference Phono 2. In fact, the Reference Phono 3SE is a synthesis of developments from the entire Reference series. An additional gain stage allows you to obtain the linearity of gain characteristic of the Reference 10 and Reference 6 preamp models.
