Best Phono Stage
Hi all,
I need some advise on a really good sounding phono stage to go with MC turntable set up in the $5k or so bracket. I am completely new to vinyl and realise there a lot here in terms of arm/cart matching MC,MM and I think moving iron but if you could point me in the direction of some good sounding units I can investigate compatibility etc. I don’t own a table or cart yet. I was looking at the Zesto Audio 1.2.
My goal is a liquid engaging sound with deep tight bass and air and separation on top.
Thanks in advance.
Sean

Posted just wo days ago, by wolfie62 (see below), in another thread. It seems that his reference system is an integrated amp from 1980. Nothing wrong with that, I'm all for people enjoying to their fullest possible extent. I just don't like to see people say they have a $200K system, telling others they are wasting their money if not spending great sums on their system, and in reality, have nothing greater of their own than a vintage integrated amp. And the kicker, that this 1980 integrated amp is "world class", including its phono pre. I usually don't post a response like this, but when a "loud-mouth" speaks up it's only fair to everyone else by exposing who they really are.
I’ll keep using my 1980 SAE Two A14 Integrated. Designed in CA, manufactured by Luxman. Dual mono construction. A real sleeper! Parametric tone controls, world class amp and MM/MC phono pre. |
@mammothguy54 Great response I agree 100% |
