Back to vinyl need phono stage help!

I run a Technics 1200G to Project Phono RS ($1000) to Evo 400.

The RS comes with a wall wart or for an additional $700 Project offers a battery powered power supply.

I bought an outboard power supply on ebay for $200 and it is much quieter than the wall wart.

The RS is dual mono (so the settings are done for each R/L channel).

It has settings for MC/MM...no step uo transformer needed. It is dead quiet. 

It is a very underated phono preamp.

Yea a lot of good reviews and happy owners on the ZP3s. Tape option too. That is the primary use. I'll get it down to a flip of a switch or two for LP use, mono or stereo.. You don't have to use Decware, but they have 10:1 L or H and 30:1 Low only SUT. Decwares point to point solder works is next to NONE.. truly art.. I had a pair of his M60s. ART....
4-6 month waiting list.. 

Read how he developed that phono stage..VERY, AudioGon (ish) to some of the great Tweakers here. Can tweak the heck out of that puppy..

I'm pretty sure it would make a heck of an adjustable tube (valve) buffer stage..Too!! Can get all tubie with a flip of a switch, COOL.

If you can find a (used) C-J EF-1 which currently sells at less than $1K, you’ll be very happy. It would outperform all the options listed above, I bet. It is old, but there is never a single electrolytic capacitor inside and it is built like a tank. Impedance (200 to 47k ohms) and gain (40, 46, 52db)are adjustable via switches inside the chassis. Your Hana EH will be happy with 500 ohms. 

ZP3 will work great for you.  It's a virtually EXACT copy of my original CORNET design (long story there), but with an 0A3 added.  For half the price you can get a CORNET3 new, but it doesn't have the fancy chassis.   

Go with a Tavish design classic or vintage for about $700 to $800. Tubed phono stages designed and built in the USA. I use one for my hana el and it sounds great. However, I am using the hana through the MM section (full tube) via a jensen step up. Another choice is the pro-ject tube box ds2. It’s a super Tubed phono preamp with more adjustments than you will know what to do with, and all right there on the front panel! It sounds fabulous and is musical, not analytical. It’s about $900, but about $1100 with your choice of real wood side panels in walnut, rosewood, or eucalyptus. It has received numerous great reviews. Don’t let the pro-jec name steer you clear, it is a well designed preamp and will sound wonderful. I still own mine and will never sell it.
