I have just acquired an Audia Flight Phono stage and, boy, is it good. Vocalists are now front and square in the room with you and musicians are clearly defined by their location in the expanded sound stage. First time ever the bass has rattled my windows. This Phono stage really digs deep and sounds not heard previously with the same clarity can startle. It is also built like a tank and oozes quality. Many hundreds of pleasant hours ahead becoming re-acquainted with my vinyl collection. Check it out.
Stand out phono stages
This topic has been started before by others and myself as well, maybe too many times, but it is worth revisiting since the source is so very important!
So far I have had the pleasure to enjoy two worthy phono stages: the EAR 834p and the JLTI.
I have to admit they are spectacular. Obviously the record and all the equipment downstream play a role in the sound heard. In some cases I prefer the JLTI and in other cases the EAR. But neither out do the other dramatically.
What phono preamps outshine others by a big margin, those that can be considered the last phono preamp ever needed.
