Interesting how few Audio Research entries on this string. I purchased a RHEA signature demo, and initially wanted to return it due to noise. After replacing the tube set from Jim Mcshane, tube noise is noticeable only within a few inches from my electrostatic speakers and totally inaudible at listening position. . The AR Phono 2 SE is silent. I'm wondering if it is 6000 dollars better?
What is the Phono stage you have finished with?
Hello, Like many I have an e.a.r 834p, and it has served me well for many years, I am now however looking for a new MC phono stage. I am up for going quite a few stages up from the ear (so the next phono will last me a few years!).
Would like to hear from you guys who have already gone down this road!
Happy listening
Cheers
James
