Preamp for VPI Prime 21 turntable $300-800


Could someone recommend a phono which can match VPI turntable very well? Thank you guys!

@classicalguy starting price point for a phono stage to match that set up should be at least $2000. McIntosh MP100, Sutherland. Up from there is Pass, Audio Research etc

The quality of your phono stage is extremely critical. Worry about components first. Then whenever you get around to it, cables. 

 Thank you everyone here for your input. As you all said, I probably need spend more money in my audio system. 

Audphile1 makes a lot of sense about jasonborne. I would add that if he did sell some of his collection, he may be able to buy some decent cables.

Try to find a used Sutherland Little Loco phono preamp,or a used Parasound JC3+ or even a Whest audio.

There is a Whest Audio PS.30R here on AGON for $1,400.00 right now

 

declare makes a very nice tube phono preamp. You can choose MM or MC step transformers. AND - made in USA. I have had one for my MM cartridge for several years. Very happy with it.
