Best Phono Stage within 2000 $

Uhmm .. Guys .. this Jelco 10.5S smells like a very good product , and cheapo too .. looking on the web site Hdm posted here!
Any opinion or experience by someone that already uses it?

The Feickert 10.5 (i have been told) uses a slightly different bearing or something. It's NOT the same as the standard 10.5... this is what I have been told. Curio, I'll most likely get the MintLP as you are not the first to tell me about it, and you banging on about it makes me want it more.

The Whest PS.30RDT is dual transformer, matched transistors from the MC REF V, matched capacitors and channel matched to within nothing of a dB. The difference is quite amazing. I had a standard 30R and changed it for a 30RDT because of the HUGH increased in performance. I see you USA guys need to pay quite a bit for it.. In the UK a standard 30R sells for $1300 less!

Gabriel are you thinking of getting the Feickert 10.5? I'll talk to a friend of mine in Germany who is very well connected and ask him about the differences.

Robm1 - I'm thinking of getting the Feickert so any additional information on the differences versus the standard 10.5 would be valuable. You can email me offline if you like. Thanks

I'll know in the next day or so...but from what I have been told the Feickert is a lot better.
