Old post, so I'm kinda late.
I'm using a Sutherland TZ Vibe with a Hana ML moving coil cartridge and they work great together.
Looking for phono preamp advice in the $1000 - $1600 range
I am thinking of upgrading my current Vincent PHO-701 hybrid phono stage to something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and still would make a meaningful improvement.
The chain I have now is Rega P8 with Hana SL LOMC cart, the Vincent phono stage, PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium (tube) preamp, McIntosh MC312 (solid state) power amp, and GoldenEar Triton One.R speakers.
My armchair research has identified e.g. the following phono stages in a reasonable $1000 - $1600 (depending on which and demo/used vs. new):
Any recommendations or insights into these, or others in my price range, given my surrounding equipment would be greatly appreciated!
