RE: I own an Audio Research Sp-15 and love it's three tube phono stage.

The SP15 uses 6922/E88CC tubes and, given the rest of the design, I suspect it makes use of FET's in supporting roles.
The SP16 is probably closer to the simple 3 tube 12AX7 circuit in the SP3 and SP6 preamps - which is probably not a bad thing.
I think the SP16's phono sounds quite good, but I much prefer the (modded) Cary PH302 I use with my SP16.
