How about the Schiit Mani 2 for $160? Michael Fremer reviewed and liked it. Why pay more?
I have an Exposure 2510 amp with built in MM but i want to upgrade my cartridge to the new Hana SL MkII MC and get an external MC phono stage. I have Graham LS6 speakers and a Rega 3 turntable. Any recommendations under $2000? gene rubin audio, where i got the amp from, is recommending the Sutherland TZ Vibe Phono Stage, which looks like a good option, but would appreciate some other recommendations. they also sell the Heed Qasar and LFD Phono LE SE mk2, which look interesting.
