What is the Phono stage you have finished with?

Hello, Like many I have an e.a.r 834p, and it has served me well for many years, I am now however looking for a new MC phono stage. I am up for going quite a few stages up from the ear (so the next phono will last me a few years!).

Would like to hear from you guys who have already gone down this road!
Happy listening

Cheers
James

I had a Pass Alpha Ono for years. I purchased a Nagra VPS & I am very happy. The cost was more than double my Pass but well worth it.

Simaudio LP5.3. Very versatile with many settings although not convenient to reset settings. This is a very transparent phono stage. The LP5.3 has a 10 year warranty to boot!!!!

I really want an Art Audio Vinyl Reference, it is what I would get and will get. I currently have an inexpensive Musical surroundings Phenomena stage. It is good, but not good enough.

I would recommend one of Lloyd Walker's phono stage's, or if you cannot find one of those, try an Einstein's Choice stage.

An ASR Exclusive Phono will leave you speechless at first listen.
Just like everything, they do come up for sale used.
Coupled with a new or used top flight preamp you will be finished wanting more.
