| ARC PH 3 SE vs PH 7 Hi Handymann,My experiences. I was a longtime owner of an ARC PH 3 SE and enjoyed it very much. At one point rather than upgrade to another phono stage I chose to have it upgraded and modified by the Great Northern Sound Company (a service they no... | |

| suggestions on small footprint phono stages I also have to recommend the Nagra BPS. I own it. It is great sounding! Flexible loading options. As big as a deck of cards. As stated above it is above all, musical. Highly recommended. | |

The stock DNA-225 however was 10K and impedences of... | |
