If your preamp does not have a phono section, this just might be the perfect solution, and much better than most internal sections.  

Audio research has been refining this piece over the last few decades and they now cost close to $10k.  

This is the original PH1 made with the highest quality components and attention to detail.  Back then ARC was hand soldering their components and listening to each unit before leaving the factory. 

This particular sample is the rarer black finish.  It comes complete with the manual and all the bits needed to set it up to match your cartridge. 

Condition is superb without any noticeable scratches or imperfections. 

Unit has been fully tested in our lab where it passed with flying colors.
