First off I would advise you to listen to other phono preamps. Preferably units with little or no feedback. I have had two PH-3's and became very tired listening to them both. My current phone preamp is a modified Counterpoint SA-9. It's a whole new world music has life and beauty. Being accomplished musician it seems to me that this unit sounds like the real thing. Frankly I can't understand the fuss about the PH-3.
