best phono stage to mate with a London Decca Super Gold cart?

Greetings All!

I'm looking for recommendations for a phono stage to match with my Decca Super Gold cart.

I'm currently using the phono stage on my Doge 8 preamp which is OK, but not stellar. Table is a Roksan Xerxes with an upgraded RB300 arm (Incognito wiring and Audio Origami external cable).

I'm open to either S/S or tube.

Budget up to $1,500.

cheers,
Norm

Yeah John, the K & K looks very interesting (as does the budget TRON). ARJ, the input resistance is easily changed with the installation of a 15k to 22k resistor on the inside of the phono amp, on the input jacks.

If you are attending RMAF I believe Dennis Fraker will be using a Trio to demo with.

If you can get a Herron VTPH-1 for $1500, nothing new or used in that price range will come anywhere close.  If you pick up a MC unit, Keith Herron will probably convert it to the proper gain as well as put in the latest mods.  Herron might even have a VTPH-1 taken as a trade that might be available.  The only way to be sure is to call.  In any case, Keith is always good for helpful conversation.
