I haven't sent the money yet, but it looks like I will end up with the Pass Labs X-Ono. It was very well reviewed, and the friend who owns it say it is fantastic. If it's better than my Aleph Ono I will be happy, and by all accounts it is quite a bit better. Wish me luck...
Looking for phono stage recommendations
I have recently ordered a Sota Cosmos, with a Tri-Planar VII arm and a ZYX Airy 3 cartridge. A friend of mine is interested in my Pass Labs Aleph Ono phono, so that leaves me with nothing (thanks a lot Paul)to use for my new frontend.
Several friends have made recommendations. The Pass Labs X-ono, the Manley Steelhead, ZYX phonostage, and a Supratek(?) have been recommended. The Zanden and Boulder are out of my price range, so don't bother...
Are there any other phonostages that I should consider. I don't have a preference of Solid State vs Tube.
I have used and/or heard the Krell KPA and KPE already and they're not really in the running. Not that there's anything wrong with them, they are very good, I'm just looking for something better.
I want something quiet that will work for low output cartidges.
HEEEEELP!
