The Reference Desk
The no-asterisks chain: transparent source, Class-A power, and the planar that earns them. This is the rig we A/B everything else against in the listening room.
Built for you if
- You listen seated, at a desk or in a quiet room
- You want the chain we judge everything else against
- You would rather buy once than upgrade three times
