I'm curious to see suggestions for your requirements.

I have not heard it before but the Aesthetix Rhea Signature checks your boxes. https://www.audioconnect.com/product/aesthetix-rhea-signature-phono-stage/ |
Look this brand up. It was flavor of the month years ago here, on Agon. https://theaudiophileman.com/nvo-spa/ Rare find in the used sections. Research to find who the US distributor is. I'd love to own one. A low budget unit that fits the requirements with a 60dbs active gain is the out of production Fosgate. They go for $1500 or so. I use one. Get the 2.0 version. Very organic sounding and more convincing when I lined up a few popular models side by side-subjective, naturally. All tube is noisier than the popular models here discussed here, which are SUT, SS recitified. |
