Audio Research Reference 10 Preamplifier - pictures

There is not a lot more to tell right now, except that it is the follow-up of the Anniversary Reference Preamplifier. Next month the first units will reach the market.

LKM hing,

This is a 2-chassis flagship preamp.
Please post photo/diagram of the powersupply unit.

Rumors say that the huge screen on the Ref 10 is a touch-screen!

Hope that the photos are just prototypes.
It's because through the semi-transparent upper plate, you may vaguely notice that the special huge whitish telfon capacitors used in Anniversary 40th preamp are replaced by ordinary-looking yellow capacitors.

"... The retail price of the Reference 10 is Euro 31,500 ... Is it better than the Anniversary? Yes, clearly! ... "

我以為三萬元，點知歐元，即時從想即訓買變成唔x買(買唔起！)

...街價都要成二三十個....真係好貴... 所以我都唯有向Ref.5 SE  埋手..

It seems that Ref 10 preamp and my 40th Anniversary preamp are 99% similar!
The only obvious difference are :
- different toroid transformers in the psu
- the four huge telfon cap in the main chassis are replaced by four smaller gold capacitors.
- touch screen

ARC想點呀！　之前部REF5咪又係用金色cap，　之後REF5se就轉左白色cap．

依家部ref10又轉番金仔cap？
