Thanks. How does the ARC Ref three do it? They have balanced outputs and so do others.
Just curious.

Looking for phono preamp recommendations
Really need some feedback on phono preamps. I have a clearaudio innovation with Koetsu Black cart. This goes currently goes into a Manley Chinook. Other gear is Pass Labs preamp/amp, Wilson Yvette’s.
I don't feel the Manley is delivering the full soundstage for me. I looked and demo’d The ARC Ref 3, lots of $’s and thinking I can do better at a lower cost than the ARC Ref 3.
Looking forward to recommendations. .

^ *phono It looks like you won't pay for an ARC Ref3 phono and want balanced outputs. Not sure of any stand-alone phono only amps with balanced in and out. Which leaves you out of luck. I think you should very seriously consider @rodman99999 suggestion to roll the Chinook tubes. Call Kevin to discuss these. |
Since you already have Pass Labs amp and preamp, why not consider the Pass XP17 phono stage? I just replaced a Doshi tube preamp and phono with the XP17 phono and XP22 line stage. It's the first time I've not had tubes in my system in many years and am very pleased with the results. Call Kent at Pass and/or Mark at Reno HiFi. Sometimes Mark has some great deals on demo gear. Good luck! |
