I have 3 systems and it's still in use. They are well worth the money if you can find a used one.

I am reconsidering the PH16 because after some measuring, I might be able to squeeze their 12" chassis in my rack next to my fairly narrow Meridian preamp. How is the sound of the ph16? I'm trying to find something the opposite of harsh. I need something without any glare.
My PH16 has plenty of detail, but I wouldn't describe it as harsh. I installed 4 GE smoked glass 6dj8's and Jensen copper PIO caps, which were a definite improvement. The Hagerman Cornet has a tad less detail in the higher frequencies but smooth mids, I prefer the PH16 for it's bigger soundstage and clear, smooth sound, if that makes any sense. I hate trying to compare 2 components using subjective words.

I am personally using the Hagerman Trumpet MM phono stage. To me, the sound is very clear, open and musically pleasing. I have replaced all 8 tubes with Dutch Bugle Boy tubes. I had been using a Krell KRC-HR preamp, but since my only source is analog, I have recently replaced the preamp with a passive volume control built with Vishay resistors.
That stage is about the cost of my entire system.
I bought a Cornet II used which I am very happy with.I plan to upgrade some of the caps.as is advised on the Hagerman thread on Audio Circle.
That's my first choice if I can find one. A seduction recently came up but I passed on it.
