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

K&K for now, it beat out the ear 834 and jlti. Though all 3 of them are excellent at their respective price points.

After 5 years of enjoying the EAR 834p, I recently upgraded to an Aesthetix Rhea and after one week thi shas turned out to be a logical and wise upgrade. Overall the results are a more refined, extended and dynamic presentation. Also the channel separation is greater and this makes for a wider and deeper field. The Rhea gets my vote as a logcal upgrade choice for EAR 834p owners.

had Ear834p, GSP Era Gold V, Audible Illusions built in phono stage, Plinius Jarrah, Black Cube by Lehmann.
Done with them all and have settled with the Tron Seven Phono stage. Couldn't be happier!
If ever I was to upgrade in the future, the Lamm LP2 would be my top pick.
