Requesting recommendations for phono stage

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

@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

Fantastic. Yea, made an immediate impression on me as well, but really, give the Hagerman time, it really will blossom more with burn-in.

I’m more and more happy with the Trumpet.
