Best Phono Preamp mm/mc under $3500.00 used


If you have tried several phono preamps in your system please ranked your favorites? My phono is AMG Giro, 9WT Arm and AMG Turbo cable.

Typically one of the goals in audiophilea is accurate reproduction of the original material. Using a preamp with the various equalization used (RIAA, Columbia, Decca) , helps get you there and adapt to cross produced albums such as Beatles rereleased in the USA. Gold Note varieties with external power supply PH-10 is amazing and versatile. I’ll never get a phono preamp without these equalizations

The Modwright PH 9.0X is excellent. I preferred it over the Parasound JC3+ and the Pass XP-15. 

Some good recommendations here.  I tried...

Gold Note PH-10 with PSU

Allnic H-5500

Conrad Johnson TEA2SE

Aesthetix Rhea Signature

They were all pretty great, albeit different, but I bought the Aesthetix and I love it.

Love my Parasound JC3+ phono preamps.  One is used with my Hana Umami, the other is used with a Sound Smith Paua and an MIMC mono.  I had no idea vinyl could sound so good.
