Phono stages under 800 to compete with ARC PH3


Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has any advice about phono stages under $800 that compete or out perform the ARC PH3. I had the ARC for a bit and loved it. I regrettably sold it, and now im in the market for a new stage, but want to keep my options open. Does anyone know how CJs separate stages would compare to the PH3?

Many carts will be used with it but do not need much gain since my lowest cart is 1.6mv.

I also would prefer it to be tubed. Thanks

I had the same experience as Rdavwhitaker. I give the edge to EAR. I would also look into the Nighthawk.
