Audio Research SP-16?

Since I only have an LS-8 Mk 2 line stage at this time, I was looking at getting a PH-3. I seem to have seen that a new preamp model with a phono section is in the offing. Nothing on the Audio Research site and no e-mail address for them. Does anyone know when this product will be available, at what MSRP and has anyone heard anything good, bad or indifferent about it? Is having two separate units (ie LS-8 Mk 2 + PH-3) a better way to go? Thanks

I have seen one at my local dealer. I believe the retail is $2695.00
It is different looking. No knobs in the front, only buttons. Looks like CD2. My dealer tells me it sounds really nice. Better than SP9mkIII.
Certainly it is not as good as Ref pramp+ph3se.
Hope this helps.
