Audible Illusions M3 vs M3A -- Worth the extra ?




Hey folks,

I am considering trying one of one these units because I need a preamp with a phono stage. On the used market, there is roughly five hundred bucks' difference between them. Is it worth the extra dough to go with the M3A, or will the M3 suffice? Will both of these units work with a medium to high output cartridge?

I know that the Rogue 66 is also in this price range. If anyone feels that is the better way to go, I might be persuaded, even though I'm leaning toward the Audible Illusions.

Thanks for your help.

Don't bother Walter, buy the c-j PFR for sale on Audiogon instead. It is a MUCH better performer! By the way, the c-j for sale is not mine. . .however, I OWN one! Get a used ARC PH3 phono preamp for your phono section and you will be a MUCH happier listener!!!

Happy listening.
