Hello Semi. I have to concurr with the recommendations of both Marakanetz and Rec.However... I will be a little more blunt and to the point regarding the comparison. The PH-3 is far superior in "every" way and if it was my donero's... the choice between the two is a no-brainer! Cheers David.
EAR 834 vs. ARC PH-3?
Both pieces sell for similar amount in used market, but EAR has adjustable gain. Which one would you choose? What about the older Sonic Frontiers SFP-1 Signature? Planning to use it with medium output cartridge (Shelter?) on VPI Aries/JMW. Rest of the system is all tube (SF Line 3 SE, BAT VK-75SE).
