Requesting recommendations for phono stage

@600ohms thanks for the clarification, Mr. Herron. I sent you an email earlier today. 

Keith - thanks for taking great care of me and others! The wood faceplate is lovely as you know :-)
@600

@bkeske. Yes. And was happily surprised at how much of a difference it is from the already formidable as LFD LE I have. Still burning it in. 

Read about Gold Note PH-10 and JLTi mk5 

@chakster TBH, I tested the gold note and the LFD side by side in my system for about a week and with several listening buddies over, and the LFD simply destroyed the gold note no matter what settings I had the Gold note on. It's a fine preemplifier, and it has a lot of flexibility, but I was surprised at how inferior a performance it was compared to the LFD. But then again, that was just one side by side in one system, so obviously not applicable to everything
