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 did own or listen in my - or friends- system various Phonostages (Aesthetix Rhea, Boulder, FM Acoustics 222, Klyne 6/7, Kondo M7/SFz, Linn, Nagra VPS, Pass Xono, Tron 7, TW and some others) i bought a Lamm LP2 and that's it.
I think, the Phono stage is the most important unit in an analogue System. Good luck.

I had a NAIM Prefix when I had an all NAIM system, then switched to a Michel ISO/Hera. I've had that for about 10 years but now I live in the States I have to run it through a stepdown transformer which makes 3 boxes. I purchased a PS Audio GCPH which is very nice. Might sell the Iso/Hera or keep it as backup.
