PHONO PREAMP


Looking for suggestions for a used higher priced phono preamp. msrp $7000 to $13000.Thinking of Sutherland, ARC,Manley, Boulder so far. Going through the list of whats available here on Agon. Tube or solid state? thanks.

Rhodes, from a technical standpoint the Sutherland PhonoBlock appears to be suitable for use in your system. Regarding output impedance specifically, John Atkinson’s measurements indicate "200 ohms across the audioband," which is fine for use in conjunction with a 20K load impedance.

As Jond alluded to, though, the sonic quality it is capable of providing figures to be limited by the Benchmark, and I suspect also by your power amplifiers.

Good luck, however you decide to proceed. Regards,

Thanks Almarg for the link. My system that appears on Agon has been sold and I am starting over with everything again. I did acquire another set of JBL 4350's. Am looking to do a substantial  upgrade from the equipment I had before so the shopping begins. Thanks    
If you can find one, the Jadis JP-80 is incredible. But they are hard to find on the used market. Once you upgrade a few of the caps to V-Caps, it is unbeatable.Here’s a new one for $16,000.

Another one to consider is the Coincident Statement phono stage - $6,000. It takes 4 x 12AX7 tubes.
