Best Phono Stage

I highly recommend the Channel D Lino C phono. I bought it and like it very much. 

See this review:

Dear @lance23, starting with vinyl on a serious level at this point in time is a daunting prospect and quite an undertaking. Separating the good, the bad and the ugly requires considerable research in advance to prevent big disappointments and expensive mistakes, both concerning the hardware AND the records themselves.

It would be useful to know in what system you plan to add your vinyl playback source. Starting with the phono amp is not a bad idea in itself, but if you haven’t decided on what type of cartridge you expect to be using, you need to build in considerable flexibility to be able to accommodate any choices you’ll make in the future.

Asking such a ‘what is best’ question usually delivers a long list of responses from members who will generally recommend what they own themselves. This information is biased by nature and doesn’t help very much in making your own personal choice. But I understand you have to start somewhere. It also makes quite a bit of difference whether you decide to buy new or would consider used or even vintage. That last category can deliver huge value for money if you know what to look for. You really don’t need to pay a fortune to enjoy listening to records, although I won’t deny it can very easily get expensive. Whatever route you take, just don’t let anyone try to convince you that real high end record playback was ‘discovered’ during the 21st century ‘vinyl renaissance’…..

BTW: are you Dutch or just a fan of the Dutch soccer team? 😁

1) I need phono amp reccomendations

2) sorry, you need to justify your system with us

3) we'll have a pissing match while we wait for you to comply

4) welcome to Audiogon !

I like my ARC Ref phono 2 SE.  May find one used in your price range.

For the dosh you have you can afford a phono stage with an LCR Network.  Vida and Allnic will do nicely.
