PHONOMENA III & LPS REVIEW BY GRAIG NEVILLE | PART TIME AUDIOPHILE
PRESS | POSTED SEPTEMBER 12, 2023
"I was honestly so surprised on how much better the Musical Surroundings Phonomena III sounded over the II+ I reached out to Musical Surroundings to find out what changes were done to make such a big difference."
Garth replied, “the Phonomena III uses a new discrete circuit layout and circuit board as well as
Super Matched input transistors and other upgraded parts from the Nova III.”
"These parts upgrades boost the Musical Surroundings Phonomena III’s price to $1,200, ... I think the sonic improvements justify the price as this seems less like production refinements and more like an evolutionary leap."

“...the E3...gets you tantalizingly close to the performance of DS Audio’s much more expensive offerings at a small fraction of the price. Highly recommended."

“The MK II sounded noticeably speedier, clearer, harder hitting, and more alpha that the original SL, which it will be replacing.”
