Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200


Tube or SS, doesn't matter. Just want to know the best you've heard/owned.

A friend has a Darlington MP-7 and really likes it.  US made with user specific options.  Probably in the 1K range.

 

My current Hagerman Trumpet MC tube phono pre with two 1960’s NOS Brimar au7’s and four Dynaco/Telefunken smooth plate ax7’s. 
 

Very well under the $2,200 mark. 

Sun Valley SV-EQ1616D. Very vivid and energetic sounding. Good tube rolling options and excellent EQ options for people who like to collect older records. 

Ear 834P, Graham Slee Era Gold V, pro-ject Tube Box DS2, Tavish Design The Classic (NOS tubes installed), and lastly, the Musical Fidelity Lx Lps...amazing sound for what it costs, even comes with loading plugs....I own all of the above in my current stable/stash...
