Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State

“Why do you say Allnic has poor resale value?”

@lewm

My earlier comment was based on sales data off USAM.

@larryi

I wouldn’t consider a SUT that is not specifically wound for my Bordeaux cartridge. Anything less than optimal in this application would be a worthless endeavor.

Thank you for your recommendation. I will check it out! 

What do the sales data say?  Do Allnic components sell used at a bigger discount off the retail cost, compared to other major high end brands?

That’s my assessment! In any case, Allnic phono sound and synergy with rest of my components did not exceed my expectations. 

@lalitk I also heard an Allnic phono stage w/ separate regulated psu in my system and it gave less than my more modest dual mono Croft. You might check Abbas Phono stages (I recently ordered a second; dual mono w/ inbuilt MC transformer). A number of owners find these stages render nearly everything you could want in music, as do his DACs. There’s more info to weigh on WBF.

As Raul pointed out, you seemed delighted with the H6500 barely more than a month ago. What changed? If you can figure that out, it might help in making your next purchase, more than accumulating subjective opinions voiced by strangers on audiophile websites.
