PS Audio new Stellar Phono PreAmp?

thanks for the update!  interested in your progress...

Hello again,

Last night I connected the 25 years old Technics SL1200 MK2 with Origin Live Onyx (OL's second tonearm from the bottom) and the four years old but not overly used Sumiko Blackbird high output MC (connected to MM input).  The result was so good.  Now that is what analogue should sound like:- weight, body, timbre, and air around instruments .  Frequency response was, to my humble ears, exemplary.  I think I have reached a very satisfactory result and this will be my main playback for a long time to come.

Does the Stellar have a mono button?

I would love to hear of any comparisons to the Pass Labs XP 17.

Hello,

Sirhan62, I have the same Rega RP8 and Sumiko Blackbird cartridge. Most people don’t have this combination, but I’m very happy with it. Right now I have an older Graham Slee phono preamp. I’m thinking of trying the stellar gain phono preamp. Have your impressions changed since installing it in your system?

Thank you for any information.
