About the Ph3D
The Sutherland Engineering Ph3D is a no-frills, high-performance phono preamplifier that emphasizes quality parts and refined circuitry to deliver excellent sound quality. It is powered by 16 alkaline D-cell batteries, providing about 1,200 hours of actual power-on time, ensuring a very quiet and pure power supply essential for high-quality audio output. The Ph3D features user-adjustable gain and loading settings via gold-plated shunts, with five gain and five loading options to accommodate various cartridge types. Its chassis is a simple, cost-effective cold-rolled steel box with a matte black powder coat finish, reflecting a design philosophy focused on performance rather than aesthetics. Dimensions are 17" wide, 2" high, and 12" deep, weighing 9 pounds. The Ph3D is positioned as a more affordable alternative to the higher-end Ph.D model, offering a slice of its performance at one-third the price, making high-end analog sound accessible to budget-conscious enthusiasts.
