There are some great products listed here - so I’ll just add another to the pot...
Take a look at Simaudio MOON phono stages
I have an older LP5.3 RS and have not even bothered to look for anything else.
But I did originally try an LFD phono stage, which was a disappointing match to my system/cartridge. Fortunately the store owner is a friend, so we just swapped to the LP 5.3
It is basically identical to the current LP310 model, which can be improved with the purchase of a separate power supply.
It is also very configurable to almost any cartridge out there except the very low output models.
I chose to use a very good power cable in place of the power supply and it works extremely well.
There are higher priced model in their lineup if you feel you need it
My phono stage is extremely quiet - even if you turn it to full volume - i.e. without playing of course.
But also take a look at Bryston - another great Canadian product with an excellent 20 year warranty
Hope that helps - Steve
