About 40%. You can switch loading on the fly via remote which is great!
The PH6 is definitely a step up from the PH5 and PH3SE, in a way combining the virtues of both, but the REF Phono 2 is in a class all by itself. More refinement, a LOT more weight and a MUCH bigger presentation.
Though I haven't heard everything, I've heard quite a few of the phono stages in the 10 - 20k range and the only other one that comes close is the Boulder 1008. The ARC has a little more body and the Boulder has a little bit more ultimate slam. In my system, the ARC was my favorite, but I could have lived with the Boulder too.
