I currently have a ARC ph-5 phono stage


Is it worth upgrading to the ph-6. My dealer says the 6 is alot smoother and more musical. Anyone hear the 6 before? anyone make the comparison?

I was checking a year ago or so the PH5 and I liked a lot his sound, transparent, fast, dynamic, sweet and airy but I found a bass problem imho his bass articulation and extension was a bit raquitic in comparation with similar price phono preamps.

You need a deep bass cartridge like Benz Micros, Koetsus, etc... .

The PH5 is one of the best phono preamps I ever heard. Enjoy it and if you want to produce a change you should try another brand.
