I need help and phonostage suggestions


To my fellow Audiogon members:
I need some help. I need some members to give me some suggestions on possible phonostages to consider auditioning or purchasing. I am selling an Acurus P-10 (and I have no idea why other than the "change things bug" got me)and I have no idea what to get. I am running a Linn LP-12 with a Benz Ace (medium) cartridge. The Linn has an Ittok arm. Amplification is a pair of Lumley Signature tubed monos (150WPC/4 ohms)and the preamp is a C-J Premier 16. Speakers are Peachtree D5 (great little speakers!)and cables/wire is AP Solo Crystal or some Morrow cables as well.
So, what say you all? Budget is about $1500 or so but I will stretch up some.
Thank you. Also, I am not fussy - tubes or solid state phonos are fine.

Peter: I would be more than happy to provide an experienced, vinylophile listener experience review of your phono stage if you can provide me with a sample unit for a two month period. The phono stages I have owned ans used in the past include Krell KPE reference, Audio Research 7, Mobile Fidelity x-Cans, Parasound p-100, Musical Surroundings Phenomina One, EAR 834p, Aesthetix Rhea and most recently Manley Chinook.
Let me know if you are interested and I will evaluate and provide a review appropriate for our Audiogon readers.
I think the Linto is excellent and a great value on the used market - If you can find one. Seems that people sell tons of LP12s, but very few Lintos.
Steve,

Thanks for the offer, you are on shoot me an email and we can arrange to get you one of the Liberty B2B-1 for evaluation.

Roscoe, I'm not asking our customers for reviews and directing them to go post on my behalf, that in my view would be much more shady - with my post you know where it's coming form and can take it as you wish. As I have written before I'm extremely proud of this little thing.

Audiophiles always are asking for affordable high quality components, while realizing that affordable is relative, the Liberty line is an attempt at supplying affordable high quality Audio. There will be a Power amp offered soon 110WPC bridgeable into 350WPC followed by a Line amp then a speaker. The power amp is actually in production as soon as we have ample supply it will go up on the website.

I have two of them shipping to review this week.

As Always

Good Listening

Peter
I would like to respond to Pbnaudio. With all respect I tried to gain info on your website in response to someone looking for a $ 1500.00 phono preamp, not my self . All I can say is it doesn't look like you sell $ 1500.00 phono preamps and if you did this to me I would really be pissed, like I am at the lady that phones me every two weeks to save me interest on my credit card, I pay it off every month. You had my sympathy until I couldn't find any info on your preamps, let alone a price. I am sure you are a good person, please consider a little advice.. Have some one redo your website, tell what it is you sell and what it will cost , after all you'll have to tell sometime. My best to you, David
Have you considered a used Herron VTSP-1a? IMO, as good as it gets in your budget.
