You're right. I could not find a lot about the Ref before I bought it. I have already ordered a P9 with a Benz Ruby cartridge (The Ref deserves it). Vinyl is the way to go, it makes me laugh when I hear about people spending 10K and up on digital sources. I know people that have no idea how good vinyl can sound, in fact they view turntables as dated tools of the past to be used only as part of an old vintage system. Cheers.
