From the mind of Michael Bettinger comes this heavy and substantial phono preamplifier, which is a “highly refined version of the original Arion.” That means better parts, more effective grounding, PCB routing and, of course, spectacular sound. We felt the sound wasn’t different, there was just more of everything, including “outstanding dynamics and plenty of gain.” A Reviewer’s Choice award winner.

Prestige III Speaker Cables quickly reveal upstream differences in power cords to my high-gain tube preamp as well as to the Supra power strip connected to preamp, CD player, and phono motor DC supply.

I found the basic one to be quite good. It's getting better and better seemingly as I'm listening. Where is all this bass and room space coming from?

Using the Axiom was like removing ear plugs from my ears - the details and clarity just lifted instantaneously like a veil had been lifted

Switching from the Parasound JC3 to the Arion Phono Preamplifier has been one of the best audio upgrades I have experienced.  I thought my system had reached a pinnacle of sound quality, but I was wrong.  The Arion outperformed the JC3 in every way.
