Audio Research PH3 SE - Shelter 501 II compatibili


Is anyone using a Shelter 501 II with an Audio Research Corp. PH3 SE and if so did you have to change the load on the PH3 SE by soldering the 100-ohm resisters provided by ARC to the unit. The owner’s manual states that the PH3 SE is set at 47 ohms. Do I need to change that to get the best out of the Shelter 501 II?

I thought that the PH3 was a moving magnet or high output moving coil phono preamp. If I am right about that, I don't think it has enough gain to run the Shelter. The Shelter has an output level of 0.5mv, and probably needs around 60db of gain to feed into a linestage preamp.
