I have had the ARC PH3 and Linto. The PH3 has more air, but compared to Linto, it is not accurate, and has 'holes' in its presentation. However, Linto is only good when using with Linn cartridge. I plug in a Koetsu, and it sounded quite strange, but with Linn cartridge, oh.... In my opinon, so, you get class A sound if you use Linn cartridge. I used the Troika.
