ARC Phono - Which one should I get? Ref or PH7

Well to simplify things, in this case lets say if I decide to go with coils....
They look different and its a different design all togather. I will be using it with a tube pre of some nature in the chain matching it with a levinson power amplifier.
Any input will help. I am just wondering which would be a more enjoyable phono to have when it comes to sound quality, egronomics, built and so on.......

Thx

The PH-7 has many more features than the Reference, (and more easily accessed via its remote control), so I would go with that one. As long as you don't go with a really low output cartridge, you should be okay.

Does it have to be ARC? If you want value for money in a truly high end tube phono stage, then look at the TROM Seven. Bespoke item, built to order (in the UK) and good value (both in audio and £-dollar terms).
