Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+ -OR- Moon 110lp v2 -OR- Parasound ZPhono XRM Phono

Do you have a source aside from vinyl?

If the sound of it gets confused with more complex music then it could be the amp/speakers.

If this only happens with vinyl playback then something is amiss with the analog gear.

A P3 with a decent cartridge mated to an MF A3.2 should sound quite good with all types of music.

@dekay 

that's exactly what I thought, testing CD vs vinyl. I will do it now and post results shortly.

"My current phono stage is in my Musical Fidelity A3.2"

The phono stage in your amp will be "bettered" with a stand alone unit.

How much will only be found out by hearing all 3 at once in your setup. 

With your existing table, I wouldn't go beyond the Moon, based on it's age. The latter Rega designs are improved and noticeably "better".

If it were me, I go with the Parasound, since It essentially will do everything the MS will. Get a $500 new flavor cart at some point and be done with it.

Any curiosity after that is a step up to a new table and next level phonostage-more wallet opening.

By then, you'll want an amp and new speakers too.

@tablejockey you mean the P3's age? It's one year old.

I want a lot of things and I am in no danger of getting them :)

" It's one year old."

Oops! I owned a P5 when that series was relavent. When I see "P3" I think the series from the 90's early 2000's.

The Rega line is great for what it is. I guess it's a sign I'm showing signs getting on in age.
