best phono preamps?

Raul says " At the other end of the IC cable ( line stage input ) the additional " stages/veils/distortions/noises/colorations " are the same number: 6+6=12 !!! plus one meter of IC cable with all the IC cable self signal degradations."

This suits his argument and self advertising for phono stage and line stage to be together.

On the other hand Raul luvs tonearms with removable headshells. Now how many stages/veils/distortions etc do these have compared to non removable??.

Raul - What are you trying to say, except anything you say is correct and everything else is wrong.
Unless it is a respectable hifi business person like Atmosphere or Jcarr who never peddle their own products or push their own views. They actively give their views on audio which one can absorb, then make their own minds up.

You and Audiofeil should get married.

Returning to the Tron 7, it is very good., but I recently compared it to my K&K stage in Graham the Tron designers all Tron system. I thought the sound was very similar, very musical with a good flow and dynamics to the sound, very low noise floor. The Tron was marginally better, the K&K is much cheaper.
I am about to host a Phono stage shoot out in the UK, which will include the K&K, I hope the Alnic and hopepfully, TW Accustics new phonostage

Thank you Downblunder but I'm very happy at the moment.

David

Will be very interested in hearing the difference between the Alnic and TW Acustics phono stage. Are you getting the Alnic 1500??

Dear Downunder: +++++ " This suits his argument and self advertising for phono stage and line stage to be together. " +++++

I think that you read my posts but you don't understand it ( I have to say that this is not the first time ) or you don't want it: " everything the same ", this means that IMHO and due to my priorities if I have a stand alone state of the art phono stage and a stand alone state of the art line stage against a state of the art integrate unit then I prefer the Phonolinepreamp integrated unit that does not needs any additional " ridicolous " cable and connectors.

I'm not pushing any thing this is my opinion. If you prefer the stand alone units its fine for me.

I respect what Jcarr posted but " everything the same " I don't agree with him about separates against an integrate unit, like I told you my preference ( absolute preference here, now and today ) is for an integrate unit, with out any single commercial issue here, read again: the Essential was designed for us not thinking on you to make money.

You can absorb it, then make your own minds up.

+++++ " self advertising " +++++, I don't need it because I'm not on the audio commercial business, the Phonolinepreamp subject form part of my today priorities.

+++++ "On the other hand Raul luvs tonearms with removable headshells. Now how many stages/veils/distortions etc do these have compared to non removable??. " +++++

as I always posted almost always we have to choose our trade-offs and that's why I choose to go for removable headshell tonearm designs and I can tell you that in our self tonearm design with removable headshell there is no single " veil/stages/distortions " due to that removable headshell subject.

Again, " You can absorb it, then make your own minds up. "

Downunder, I would like to know what are you doing in this thread when you answer or refer to me or my posts: looking/waiting how to go against/attack what I'm saying or you really want to share your opinions with an open mind and trying to learn/understand, could you explain about?

+++++ " You and Audiofeil should get married. " +++++

If you don't want that in a near future I go an insult you with out any respect please that this be the last time that you insult not only me but to the other person and if I don't like you that's is your problem and my advise is that you try not to read my posts, why should you?

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
