Audio Research Reference Phono 3SE

Audio Research Reference Phono 3SE

The Reference Phono 3SE represents a new performance benchmark in a single-chassis phono stage.

When Audio Research was founded in 1970, analog vinyl playback was the de facto music source of the time. Audio Research has built phono playback into preamplifiers or created stand-alone phono stages since the very beginning.

The knowledge gained in the creation of Audio Research’s latest award-winning Reference-series amplifiers has transitioned to both the Reference 6SE line-stage and the Reference Phono 3SE, elevating its performance dramatically. Ultra-high quality parts and design details usher in a new level of sonic accuracy and musicality.

The improvements in the latest REF Phono 3SE include enhanced resolution at all levels, greater purity and focus, improved transient speed and snap, and better dynamic. shading. The sum of these improvements is exceptional, further breaking down the barrier between reproduced sound and the immediacy of a live event.
