Linn Sondek Phono Preamp


My Current set up is

 

Michi x3

B&W 705s

Linn Sondek with Akito Arm

Ortofon 2m bronze

 

Looking for recommendations for a phono preamp (really disappointed in the michi phono stage). Not sold on tubes, but might warm the system up a little. The michi is very neutral. Also looking for advice for tonearm cables for the Akito. Thanks! (sorry if this post is redundant with others)

If the tube sound is what you seek Space Tech Labs produces high quality gear at “reasonable” prices. I currently own a unit with the outboard Super Rectifier. The sound is unbelievable. The only caveats being MM or high output MC only and single input. 

Pretty much any Vincent is a good choice. They offer tubed and non tube models for under $600. The 701 will even let you digitize vinyl up to 24/192
