Congrats! How much did you get it for? Is this a higher version vs the PH3D?

The PHD is outstanding. Ang lupit!

Played Mayorga's The Missing Linc LP, first track pa lang ibang klase na. Super quiet background, excellent resolution and really liquid sonics. Little details and nuances of instruments more pronounced including the bass notes. Better channel separation and greater depth. Bigger yet refined sound.

Puyatan na naman ito. Seems like I have a whole new system altogether.

A look at the simple and very neat dual mono layout inside. Choice of parts and build quality are top-notch. The unit came with extra Gain cards to allow "card rolling". So easy to use it's like adding a memory card to boost RAM. The unit is heavy even without batteries, but with Energizers it scales 38 lbs.

Maraming salamat Jen. Now know what you mean when you said "black" background. Good thing batteries are easy to source and $25/set could last for a year. I think still cheaper than electricity. Though mura kuryente dito :)

I will email Ron Sutherland to confirm on that. I heard he recommends to change batteries once a year (needed or not) to avoid leakages.

Pwede Jun! Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Sound :)  Mahusay talaga gawa nito.

One reason I opt for the unit is that Ron's company is devoted to building phono preamps. I think he doesn't make any other product types. And he personally answers after-sales issues. It also works the same way anywhere on the planet (being battery-powered) so pwede ko madala at magamit sa Pinas if ever without worrying about voltage conversions :)

Thank you Dana. I had a sense upgrading the phono stage would do my system well. So Im really grateful it paid off. The sound I'm getting now from my records is so musical and engaging.

Have to check on your question about battery operation

In between LeBron's return to Cleveland and FIFA World Cup, picked up these very good condition first pressing LPs last Friday.
