phono pre-amp


I have a Linn LK 1 preamp. I've recently purchased a JA Michell Gyro SE, Origin Live 250, and a Dynavector Karat Mk 2 MC cartridge. I would like to budget $1000.00. Used or new. thanks, Richard

I have an Aragon 47K phono preamp with upgrade power supply, and like it a lot. For economy, look for a Parasound phono preamp for under $100 used, not too much more new. Michael Fremer (Stereophile) likes the Lehmann Black Cube (?) a lot, and I've seen them for around $600, as I recall. Good luck!
I like my Musical Surroundings Phonomena. It's supposed to be otherworldly with optional battery power supply. I hope to get a battery supply soon.
I also have JAMichell Gyrodec and use an Audio Research PH3. While I am always looking to upgrade my other components (predominantly Levinson), I have not been compelled to do so with PH3. You can find the PH3 at $1000 preowned.
