Audio Research Ref Phono 10 comes in at $30k


.
Audio Research has a new ultra reference phono preamp that sells for $30k. Hmm, how much better could it be than the $13k Reference Phono 2 SE?

See the link below for a description of this preamp.

It seems that Audio Research is establishing an ultra-premium line that is over and above its already excellent reference products. Their Reference 10 linestage is also $30k. Could a $30k DAC be in their future?

It won't be long before they have a pair of tube monoblocks at 120k a pair. VAC just came out with a Reference phono stage for 50k. The high-end companies are focusing on the super rich. They know those kind of people have the money and have no problem spending it.
