Any experience with the Audio Research PH7?

Please describe other similiarly priced phono stages you've compared to the ARC PH7 and in what context. Thanks!

And that's a GOOD thing, right? I mean, if ARC stood still we wouldn't be enjoying the Ref-3, the CD-7 and other products this fine company contributes to audio mania.

Why do you want to get the best ARC? As you said, it does not exist. Get one according to your taste now and be happy.

I moved up through the PH-3, PH-3SE and the PH-5. As great as the PH-5 was, the PH-7 makes all other before it sound broken.
