The Audio Research PH2 is a solid-state phonostage designed by the brilliant minds at Audio Research Corporation (ARC). Here are some key details:
- Fully Balanced Design: The PH2 is a fully balanced phono preamp, from input to output. It accepts only XLR inputs and outputs, making it ideal for systems with balanced connections.
- No Tubes: Unlike many other Audio Research products, the PH2 is solid-state, with no tubes to wear out.
- Compatibility: It was introduced in 1993 and was intended to be used with the ARC LS5 line stage preamp (which also had fully balanced ins and outs).
- Rare Gem: The PH2 is a rare find, and its minimalist design and balanced performance make it a sought-after piece for vinyl enthusiasts
