Thinking to replace my phono

I would audition the PS Audio Stellar Phono. Retail for just 2500 USD, but supposedly a giant killer.
Michael Fremer recommended hearing it for anyone looking for a phono, at any price point. Coming from him, I think that says a lot.

And of course, I also agree the Luxman phono stage is the obvious choice. 

I believe PS Audio just came out with a new phono preamp. There is almost no risk to you and they have a dollar for dollar trade in on your old preamp. You do not even have to return the old one right away so you can compare the two. I would love to hear from you how it did in your system. I have a modest phono setup so it would be lost on my phono setup. Audio technica LT3, with a nagoka 110 cart, pioneer head shell and a Schiit mani preamp. 

Sorry to piggyback Ziggi, I just wanted to let them know the options. 

Nothing wrong with that hshifi... the more people chiming in the better!
I believe OP doesn't live in the US, so PS Audio trade in offering is irrelevant for him. besides, the trade in program is limited to 30% of retail price. 

hshifi  that maybe PSAudio policy in US, however, i don't live in the US, here the local distributor would not act the same
