What separate tube phono stage do you use ?

Allnic, Manley and Herron are quite common. Interested in what else is out there that is not mentioned often. Good enough performance at the level of entry level Allnic and above. Lamm is great, I know.

Ric worked for Art Ferris, and had some ideas for how to improved on the pre's design.

Tron says that they use only England made parts. NVO uses so many tubes, why would they ? I am glad that no one mentioned Ypsilon, that thing is a little, well, how do I put it..it's a hell of a lot of dead Washingtons.

Croft tends to use good but not great parts. IN4007s and RIFA caps. Due to the microscopic point- to-point handwiring, it’s not too easy to upgrade parts. And I have been there - replaced all the resistors in a Micro back in the 80s with Holcos which, to my amazement, took it to a new level.
