Go for a Herron Audio VTPH-2A. I have heard nothing better at any price, nothing equaling it anywhere near it's price.
Phono Stage Recommendation $3000
Hi Guys
Want to upgrade my Phono Stage.
Currentky I have 2 TTs, a Project Debut Carbon with a Denon DL 103R paired to a Project Tube Box DS. My second TT is a Clearaudio Preformence DC with a Dynavector Karat D17 paired to an Avid Pellar. Rest of my equipment is B&W 800d, Classe CTM 600, Ayre KX-R. As most of my system I would like a tube phono if possible and 2 Inputs if at all doable.

If you have tubes in your front end, Pass Labs XP15 phonostage sounds great, and has been replaced by the XP17, so there are some floating around at very good deals. Mark at Reno HiFi is the best, and he's a true gentleman. The only thing I think you will be giving up is a second input, but you will be getting unbelievable sound, with a noise floor that is SILENT. And, the unit has nearly limitless adjustment settings for load, etc. |
The EAR is nice but only one input. I doubt you will find a phono preamp with more than one input. https://www.needledoctor.com/EAR-834P-Phono-Preamp |
