{"product_id":"audio-research-ph9-phonostage","title":"Audio Research PH9 Phono Stage","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe PH9 phono preamplifier is a great pairing with most cartridge and turntable combinations. A trio of 6H30 vacuum tubes are at the core of a simple and clear signal path to provide the most transparent preamplification possible. Five different impedance settings allow for cartridge loading, which can be changed on the fly with the included metal remote. Cartridge impedance, tube hours, auto shutdown, and other features are included in the menu system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Audio-Research-PH9-phono-stage\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/9777\/files\/Audio-Research-PH9-phono-stage.jpg?v=1633398321\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Audio Research PH9 review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.absolutesounds.com\/pdf\/main\/press\/HFN_1216_PH9_4web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/9777\/files\/Audio-Research-PH9-quote.jpg?v=1658377718\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFREQUENCY RESPONSE\u003cbr\u003e±.2 dB of RIAA, 5 Hz to 20kHz; 1 dB points below 0.3Hz and above 80 kHz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDISTORTION\u003cbr\u003eLess than .015% at 3V RMS 1kHz output.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGAIN\u003cbr\u003e55 dB at 1 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINPUT IMPEDANCE\u003cbr\u003eSelectable loads: 47k, 1000, 500, 200, 100 Ohms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOUTPUT IMPEDANCE\u003cbr\u003e200 ohms.
