What is the Phono stage you have finished with?

Although I am a dealer for Art Audio I would still recommend you take a listen to the Vinyl Reference Phono Preamp. You can google it to catch the reviews. A serious piece of audio equipment. I do apologize for being a dealer however, it is just that I like to listen to good stuff as well.

Hello James,

I'm very happy with the Whest Audio PS30 RDT .. you 'll read about this unit in next future
Probably the best bargain within 10.000 USD$

I am finished w the TW Phono. Had quite a few including a custom phono, a Groove & a few more. The TW allows you to use 3 cartridges & change loading on the fly. It also has the best highs & mids I have ever heard from Vinyl. No SUT which is a big plus for cartridge compatability & matching with a SUT. Pure tube but not mushy. 3 tubes total. I guess you can say I am done barring hearing a Boulder which might not be better just different.

I've had a Herron Audio MC tube phono stage for 5-6 years.

Last year I had to change the tubes (one died and the others were ready to), but I would not think of changing it.

Beautiful, smooth, detailed sound.

Dgad,
Does the TW Phono deliver in the lower frequencies as well? I'm still strongly considering an AC3 as a table upgrade but phono stages continue to confound me. Did you compare the TW phono with the Tron 7(another Catalano recommendation)? Do you find the TW to be quiet for a tubed phono(an area where many tubed phonos seem to fall down a bit)?
