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 tried the PH3 with the Shelter 501 II, and felt that it did not have enough gain. Reading the specs it seemed like it might just marginally have enough gain, but it wasn't quite there in my system. I had a big improvement when I sold my PH3/LS8 Mk2 and bought a preamp designed for a MC cartridge.
