The best phono stage out there?

I heard the Allnic H1500 twice in two seperate systems both times it did a wonderful job with acoustic music but when it came to electric disorted guitars it sounded very muddy to me. I have not heard the 3000
So if you going down that route please hear before you buy the 1500 is not for everyone

Dunno, my Allnic phonos shred, rip, grind, sting and bump with the best I have heard. I have been listening to ZZ Top, Cream, Blind Faith and Santana, never sounded better . Of course, it is always advisable to listen to a particular phono staqe if possible for a particular taste in music.

For me it seemed to happen with music that had real drive like the Electric pieces from Casino by Al DiMeola remember being told that it must be production on record from dealer

Loads to choose from. How about TRON, EAR, ARC Ref, Sutherland PhD to start with.

Which cartridge are you using?

I found the Aqvox to be an exceptional phono stage. It is solid state and provides a variety of options that will accomondate any cartridge. I recently switched from a Benz Ruby to Koetsu Urushi with out any problems. The Aqvox when connected through the balanced connectors automatically adjusts the load for the particular cartridge in use at the time. This is an excellent feature. But for those who like to play around with different load settings you can simply connect through the rca ports and have a blast. The Aqvox sells for less than 2,000 and well worth the investment. Have fun with your search. Herman
