Tube based phono stage

I am looking for a new phono stage to use with Feikert Volare TT, Soundsmith Zephyr cartidge, Leben CS 600 and Devore O93 speakers.  Looking for a rich sounding, musical amp.  Tubes definitely a possibility.  Price range around 3 K.  Thanks,  MP

I've been using a New Valve Order (NVO) for many years just wonderful. It was the rage 5 or so yrs back where people sold their multi $$$$ for this unit. A bit above your price point but look for a used one, unfortunately rarely do they show up.

Completely back thea Manley Chinook. I just got one and it blows the wheels off my Musical Surroundings Nova III. No comparison. And absolutely silent.

If you're patient, you might find a used Herron VTPH-2A. The Chinook is good, the Herron is a significant step up.

try Decware.com - they make an excellent tube phone stage - for both HO and LO cartridges. Even Made in the USA in IL.... Great quality and support and service.
