I owned a PH5 for a year and loved it, just traded up to a PH7. I have 2 friends with a PH5 and they also report that they are very happy with it. One friend takes his PH5 and runs it through an ARC REF 1 and Pass monoblocks to top of the line Tyler speakers. The PH5 holds its own in this system. This unit also responds very well to tube rolling.
Audio Research PH5 vs. LP1
Hello Fellow Audiophiles. Do any of you out there have a preference to the ARC PH5 and/or the LP1 Phono Preamp? Any chance you have heard or owed both and can offer a comparison between the two? I'm currently running a B&O Beogram 4002 with MMC20CL to a Rega A2D then on to a ARC LS26.
