Phono Stage Opinions


I have an Audio Research LS 7 Preamp also a Technics SA 300 Receiver.
I tried the receiver phono stage on the AR preamp and it sounds decent.
Should I purchase an inexpensive phono stage or use this one ?
Thank you

This is both self-serving and sincere.  I began my vinyl era about 10 years ago with the NAD PP2.  I had nothing to compare and was happy for years.  I upgraded about 1.5 years ago to the Project Tube Box DS and loved the improvement.  I have been building an ARC system and picked up a PH5 a few weeks ago and again loved the improvement.  My Project is for sale here.  It retailed for $700 when I got it for $600 and now it retails for $400 after discounts.  I have it listed at $299.  If you don't want to mess with mine, pick up a new one for $400.  I think you will be pleased.  Good luck!
