Great phono stage, with character, for a digital pre
I have been trying out a NAD M12 and M23 setup which is really nice! For my turntable I have a Sota Saphire VI with an Audiomod tonearm and a Dynavector Karat 17D2 MK II. My current phono stage does not wow me much (McIntosh MP100). Since the analog signal is going in and being digitized right away I was looking at other stages that may be warmer and give music that analog sound still. So looking for recommendations for a stage with character , $2500 budget, and I listen to classical, jazz, and rock.
truth there as well…. That and frankly most Dynavector are “ truth tellers “….. not unusual for people to “ warm them up “ in a variety of ways…… the SOTA while also pretty neutral leans warm imo…. @simao I agree, wish the Herron was still in production..used examples are very desirabe….i dont plan on replacing mine anytime soon. Having said that my other phono is an ARC REF phono 2 se…… blessed i know… enjoy the music. Jim |
@tomic601 Keith Herron lives literally right up the road from me. |
