Phono stage price range 1500 to 2000 dollars.

Any reviews on musical fidelity m6x phono stage. I own musical fidelity m6si amplifier maybe that would be a good fit.

You do not say what is wrong with the tavish....have you tried rolling some tubes into it? How about moving up to the Adagio by tavish? That one I think can be had for $2190. I think the Adagio was or is Herb Reichert’s reference phono stage. I use my tavish the classic with all NOS tubes, RCA, GE. And Sylvania. I also use it with a Jensen SUT running a Hana EL. Tavish just so happens to use Jensen sourced transformers In the M/C section of the Adagio. In both the vintage and the classic, you must use the MM section to fully make use of the tubes. The M/C section of both uses jfets to boost the low output of a M/C cartridge. Better to use an SUT into the M/M section, if you are using a moving coil.

I use a Hana el cartridge and my settings that I use is M/C.So you are saying to use my M/M setting for a better result with the tubes.

You might look at the AAW  Black Swan for $1500, multi cartridge inputs , Front panel cartridge loading, unbelievable low noise and clarity, doesn't sound like tube or SS., sound like the cartridge.   Black Swan - austinaudioworks.com

You cannot go wrong with Audio Research PH5 unit. There is one currently available for $1,400 with remote and original packing. I use the same phone stage. You have many options for tube rolling with 4 x 6922 tubes if you decided to do so. Highly recommended.
