Best phono stage for Lyra Etna SL cartridge?

@sebrof  1+. Current mode is the way to go.

I thought that the impedance will control how bright or dark the sound is. I have slight sibilance that I want to get rid of, so I went to the lowest impedance of 14 ohms. I still hear some brightness. I can't lower the impedance anymore.

by Current mode, you mean Lino C?

@chungjh,

Have you tried tweaking the VTA.  Lowering the tail just a little bit (assuming you have a tonearm that has adjustable VTA) can often reduce sibilance.  If this does work, then go back and try higher impedance.  You may need to tweak & tweak until you dial in the best you can get.

Good Luck,

You may be surprised at what 47k can do for a LOMC  Then too, its dependent on the phono stage circuit's stability. At 14ohm load, the suspension has little movement which seems all wrong to me.
