The PH1 was designed to allow every music lover to discover how wonderful analog LP 1 s can sound in the midst of the present digital revolution. There are hundreds of millions of LP 1 s in existence, many of them irreplaceable and of great musical value.
Sonically, the PH1 is simply the most neutral device of its kind. Although solid state in its architecture, the final design was realised for its sonic attributes - the way it musically involves the listener - alone. Even its standard preamp-sized housing was utilised in order to minimise the deleterious proximity effects of a smaller chassis.
The purpose of a phone preamplifier is very simple: to deliver a line-level output to the line-stage preamplifier, which is why the control functions on the PH1 have been kept to a minimum. The 11 loading 11 sometimes necessary with phone cartridges is easily accomplished by soldering the necessary resistors to turret terminal posts on the bottom of the main circuit board. This is the most direct and best sounding method of achieving the proper load.
The gain stages utilise an all Field Effect Transistor design. The power supply features extensive and massive electronic regulation together with a low-noise torroidal power transformer. Mechanical shielding and careful internal layout minimise electromagnetic interference upon sensitive circuitry.
The PH1 represents an advance in value as well as in state-of-the-art music reproduction. And it comes to you from Audio Research corporation, an American manufacturer with over 20 years of producing and standing behind the finest high resolution audio equipment available. It should provide you with many years of musical pleasure.
