I don’t have any direct experience with the PH 7. I would imagine it’s a fine sounding piece but it is getting a bit on the old side now. One other thing to keep in mind is that it doesn’t have a high and low gain setting.....it only has one gain setting at 57.5 dB. That may not be optimal for many MC cartridges out there. Having the higher gain setting would open up a wider variety of cartridges and could possibly prevent upgraditis in the future!
