In Reply to: EAR 834P or Cary PH-301 posted by Bob Johnson on March 23, 1999 at 20:50:52:
I haven't done a direct comparison, but I thought the Cary was considerably more expensive. The EAR lists for $900(black face), I thought the Cary was a bit more. I have the EAR, and outside af a few quibbles, i strongly recomend it as an affordable Phono stage.

...the PH-301 is $1795 and the EAR is $895-1195 depending on options/finish. I am also looking for a phono pre and so far the Joule OPS-1 is the direction I am heading. However I would like to audition the Cary myself. First I need to decide on a table though.
EAR also makes a MM version for roughly 1/2 the price(one can get a step up transformer later is needed.Wished I had thought of that...

I purchased a Audio Research ph-3 for 900.00. I like it very much, I think it lists for about 1500.00. I have not compared it to other comperable phono stages however, only my previous NAD pp-1.

Keith,
I was curious as to how that pp-1 sounded? Comments for a low end system?
Well it souded pretty good considering its cheap price 125.00 or so . Its of course unfair to compare it to its replacment. I still have it and would sell it for 50.00 bucks if your interested.
