ARC PH3


I am thinking of purchasing the PH3 phono pre-amp from ARC. I currently have an SP-9 and I was informed that I could use the 9 as a line stage and the PH3 as the phone. Has anyone done this? How does this work? I only use vinyl and thefore do not need a line stage pre-amp.

I agree, the SP9 MK111 WAS AUDIO RESEARCH'S BEST hybrid preamp with a phono stage.I never had a shootout between the MK111 and the SP9 with the ph3.Upgrade from sp9 to sp9mk111 is $995.00 including new tubes. the same price give or take for a used PH3 PLUS the extra set of quality inter connects.personally I would buy a used all tube design SP6 preamp. regards,RICH
