If you want expansive musicality and imaging an EAR 834P - some people even keep them in high end systems as they may be the best at these things. If you have a lot of pre RIAA records check out a Graham Slee Era Gold V (they have varying EQ) If you want neutrality check out the Whest 2 (I have the the PS 0.2 and the 2 uses the same internals. I preffered it to an original Tom Evans the Groove If you want MM get a cartidgeman conductor. If you want an MC get a Shelter 501 mk2 (I think they are now mark 3) |
Has anyone over that side of the pond heard the new Mk2 phono amps from Tom Evans Audio ? The specs are truly world class, even on the modestly priced Mk2 Groove A, it's signal to noise ratio ( noise and distortion ) is an amazing -114 db @ 68 db of gain ! I am told that further up the range you go the lower the distortion and noise, 50% per model. I just read this recent review (below), from what Jason Kennedy (the editor) said about the way it performs it looks like it's the real deal and he gave it 'best buy' award. as for Tom being untrustworty he has always helped and if you require an upgrade he will help with that too , http://www.the-ear.net/review-hardware/tom-evans-audio-design-groove-anniversary-mkii-mc-phono-stage |
