Description

Description Freakuence!
This cabinet reveals a wealth of details and presents in a very special way. Without hard work very much information, super placed, without sharpness.
General description

The Audio Research Reference 3 is a preamplifier known for its musical transparency and impressive soundstage. It offers a wide frequency range and low distortion level, resulting in clear and detailed music reproduction.

The design combines classic aesthetics with modern functionality. The front features a large display that shows information about volume, selected input and other settings. Operation is intuitive, with knobs and dials for easy adjustments.
Internally, the Reference 3 uses an all-tube Class A circuit with no negative feedback, contributing to its natural and warm sound. The power supply is hybrid and offers high energy storage, ensuring dynamic and controlled playback.
The rear panel is equipped with both balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs, making the preamplifier flexible for use in various audio systems.
With its solid build quality and attention to detail, the Audio Research Reference 3 is a reliable choice for enthusiasts looking for a high-quality preamplifier.

Background information

The Audio Research Reference 3 was developed according to the “High Definition” design philosophy of William Z. Johnson, founder of the brand. The preamplifier uses selectively chosen audio tubes (6H30) and high-quality components such as audio-grade capacitors. The internal wiring is hand laid and the housing is aluminum, for optimum vibration damping. Everything is assembled by hand in Minnesota, USA.

Brand history

Audio Research was founded in 1970 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, by William Zane Johnson. The company began developing electronic tube equipment, starting with the SP-1 preamplifier. Over the years, the brand introduced several products, including the D-150 power amplifier in 1974 and the original REF1 in 1995. Audio Research moved its headquarters to Maple Grove, Minnesota, in 2007. In 2020, the company was acquired by AR Tube Audio Corporation, led by former employees. Audio Research manufactures all of its products in the United States and focuses on manual assembly of equipment. Repairs and maintenance can be done in-house. The company uses hand-wired point-to-point wiring combined with printed circuit boards. Documentation and schematics of products since 1970 are available through the company, and parts are kept in its own warehouse.

CD

De Compact Disc (CD) kwam zoals de meeste uitvindingen niet uit de lucht vallen. Na de uitvinding van de laser in 1958 werd in 1961 het eerste octrooi voor optisch leesbare schijven ingediend. In 1972 werden de eerste digitale videoplaten geïntroduceerd. Na een flop van Philips kwam de fabrikant in 1979 samen met Sony met de eerste cd, wat erop stond weten wij niet maar in 1982 kwam de eerste cd voor de markt uit, het was het album Visitors van ABBA. In dit jaar kwam de eerste speler beschikbaar en zo begon de verdrijving van de lp uit de markt. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen. Heb je cd’s, geniet er vooral nog eens van, ze hebben immers geen oneindige levensduur.

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.

Live music!

Amplified or unamplified ... live music is different. You don't bring the atmosphere of a bar, club or hall into your home. And thankfully so! For those genes who sometimes leave their comfortable couches to make the exit to a concert, it might be fun to scroll through this page from time to time. Anyone who has a fun tip or wants to promote an event, please post it here especially, as well as fun clubs and bars you've discovered somewhere on the
world.

Soon hopefully!
