Back to vinyl need phono stage help!
I would also look into the rogue triton 2 or the parasound jc3 jr in that price range. They woulkd both be good dynamic musical sounding pieces or the money. The sutherland while a good unit may be a little too refined for all types of music remember he was part of martin logan and that was a speaker that was refined and would not play all types of music either. |
@jimfinn2112 Seems like you should decide whether you want more tubes (warmth?) into you audio chain as you already have the tubed PrimaLuna. If not, maybe go with a SS (solid state) phono stage. All of the suggested phono stages mentioned by members have good/great reviews, however the PS Audio Stellar is a new modern design (2019-2020) which was designed to compete with what became before it in the market. The PS Audio Stellar got many fantastic reviews and punches way above it’s price point. It was designed by young engineer and vinyl enthusiast Darren Myers - I was impressed with his interview with Michael Fremer https://www.analogplanet.com/content/axpona-2019-encounter-ps-audio-electronics-designer-darren-myer... If you can afford it’s a great option. |
Since I have the Evo400 I'm not really interested in more tubes and that's not to say they can't be great...just a preference. I like the Gold note PH10, The Jlti MK 3 or 4 and now the 5 and the WhestTwo.2. Any of you cats have any direct comparisons, and any first hand experience of the Whest? Thanks for all the info and suggestions! That's why this forum can be so cool!✌️ |
