RE: Or not

The acrylic cover is just the start in ARC's herculean effort to control chassis resonances/vibration. They have been at this for a long time and the latest Reference preamps are a big step forward in this regard.

The side metal slaps are thick and heavy. This helps sink resonances/vibration. There is also strategically placed damping material that is hard to see with the acrylic cover in place. The bottom cover is also acrylic.

My Reference 2 has the metal top cover. It definitely sounds better when removed. I hear no difference with the acrylic cover removed on the Reference Phono 3.
