Help with Phono preamp suggestions!
You may want to consider the TRON Electric Convergence Signature MC for valve designs. Exceptional build and parts quality. Dead quiet. If you prefer solid state, the Gold Note PH-10 and PSU-10 pair are lovely. Heads up that I’m a TRON and Gold Note dealer. Cheers, Colin |
I'm a big fan of Whest phono stages- I have owned three. Currently use a MC Ref V on my main deck. Never tried a Hana cartridge with Whest but you could drop Jim Henriot an email via his website to confirm that it would be a good match or not. Whest stages are very flexible with loading and gain. I used a Titan Pro with a DV Xv1-s on my LP12 and it was a great result. Whest are very clean and dynamic sounding with great resolution and low noise. They are my go-to choice. I have owned Tron phono stages as well- Convergence Sig and Seven Ultimate. These are tubed units so a bit different from the Whest. Great phono stages and the Convergence is a bit of a bargain but you are stuck with a single load/gain value- not a lot of flexibility here. Whest is being distributed by Mofi/Music Direct now. I think you can try and return if it does not suit you? Worth the effort imo...good luck! |
