@lewm Hi, not sure if your question is aimed toward me (the OP) or Audiofun, but I've never heard the ARC Ref 10 and I favor the Allnic H-1202 over the Zesto Andros.Rooze

@docknow thank you, Sir, this is what I needed. 
Is it really worth it to get a phono stage over $10k
Since people have mentioned the Zesto Andros 1.2 and the Manley Chinook in this thread, I’ll chip in with my two-penneth. I went from Manley Chinook to Zesto 1.2 and I’m currently using the Allnic H-1202 on loan from Hammertone Audio in Canada. [h...

Update on the iPhono3 - I'm at around the 100-hour mark with the unit and sat down again last night for a serious listen.The sound has certainly evolved since my last listening session a week or so ago. The soundstage has deepened significantly, a... 
Going Price for Apogee Divas?
It's a tough one that is. They may not be buzzing now, but will they withstand being handled out of your place and into a new location? What about shipping?Most folks will be thinking that it's just a matter of time before one hears that first lit... 
ifi iPhono 3 "Black Label" Anyone?
Hey Lowrider,The new 3 comes standard with  iPower X, I don't know what that contributes to the sound at this point but it looks like a walwart on steroids! 
Standmount speakers. I have $5000.
If you like a BIG sound from small boxes and enjoy a little romantic lushness then the Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M is a good buy. Used, $3-4kIf you want top notch transparency and laser focused images, QLN springs to mind.

Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions?
Aesthetix Calypso is a great buy and you can snag one for under $2500if you can stretch your budget then look at Allnic Audio. They have the reputation of being bulletproof and the one I just bought a while back sounds fantastic.
