What is the Phono stage you have finished with?


Hello, Like many I have an e.a.r 834p, and it has served me well for many years, I am now however looking for a new MC phono stage. I am up for going quite a few stages up from the ear (so the next phono will last me a few years!).

Would like to hear from you guys who have already gone down this road!
Happy listening

Cheers

James,
Lots of good choices out there. I am pleased with the
Tron Seven. I had a Steelhead before the Tron. My Tron was built for the higher output PC-1 but can be configured for lower voltage cartridges as well.
Good luck with your search.
After owning few phono stages - fm acustics 122, cj prem 15, pass xono, EAR 834, Mac c2300 - still have the last 2.

and listening to a hell of a lot more - sutherland PHD, EAR 88PB, Aesthetix IO, RCM phono, ARC PH5 & PH7, Manley Steelhead, Einstein phono, ASR exclusive,

I have ended up with TW Acustik as my main phono stage and could not be happier.

Pure tube gain with no noise, 3 inputs and 6 loading options from the front panel. kool 50's retro look as well.
Naim Superline with Dynavector XV-1s, powered by the 252 preamp. Not quite finished: there's a Supercap power supply to go.
I have owned an Ayre P5xe, and ASR Basis Exclusive. Thy're both great pieces at their price points (used). I am now using an Atma Sphere MP-1 MK III with phono and I'll tell you the preamp is awesome, but the phono stage is as good as anything I've owned prior.
