The Sutherland Ph. D. vs ARC Ph-3


I have a full blown LP-12, with PH-3 and LS-15. I was thinking of getting a new table but received a suggestion about the phono stage instead. I welcome all feedback. Thanks

The sutherland would be a lot better than the PH3. I have heard the PH5 and PHD and they are both very good abeit different.

The new ARC PH5 has a nice slight upper bass bloom with very good extension top to bottom. sounds a LOT better than the PH3. loading and mono are a breeeze with the remote.
PHD is more pure sounding and extremely quiet, but can be a little slow with microdynamics better on the PH5.
