“In each of our systems, we both like it better than the $7,300 Manley Steelhead (which struck us as less transparent) and the $7,000 TEAD Groove + (which, to our ears, is comparatively more hifi-ish). Lastly, we also agreed that the Vinyl Reference brings the music home versus taking you to the venue - and so, the music blends seamlessly with your acoustic space.”

Positive Feedback
“the ART is ear candy! Your record collection, particularly your treasured golden oldies, will be exalted on this gorgeous piece of audio legerdemain. Its flexibility will surely benefit any system, balanced or single-ended, solid state or tube. Its lack of idiosyncrasies was a joy, as was its sound. The ART is a piece of art.”

“While the Vinyl Reference ably dissects recordings into their constituent elements and lays them out for your appreciation, it always preserves the musical gestalt, delivering a sound that is cohesive and engaging. After going through much of our record collection, often during listening sessions that satisfyingly crept from late night into early morning, I found the Art Audio's presentation to be much more natural, at ease, and life-like than that of other phono sections or preamps I've heard.”
