Audio Research PH3


How do you guys rate the Audio Research PH3 as phono stage? Also compared to to a Jolida JD9?

The early PH3 was introduced by ARC as a budget piece, with the then-current SS PH2 selling for $1K more. I listened to both & bought the PH2. In turn the PH2 is substantially improved by replacing the stock MIT PPMFX coupling caps. The only shortcoming is limited gain.
