MM Tube Phono for $1000


Any advice on good Tube MM Phono stage to be used with my current Step Up Transformer, eg K&K and Jensen. My budget is $1000. New or used is OK.

Thanks

There is a jj tube pre with phono mm+mc in phono pre.s just now. The seller is user name bigtube its $750ish and you will be able to fund 50% at least by selling your xformers.These things are way underated and little advertised but are kick ass and easily updated by replacing the volume pot with the same value dact or similar stepped attenuator.I dont know the seller and have never dealt in any way with him but if I was in your shoes would not hesitate.
It might run you slightly more if you have Kevin Carter build it for you, but the K&K Basic MM phono would be a good option.

Thanks a lot for your recommendations. I had been using EAR834 Delux, and PS Audio GCPH respectively, and found by adding the SUT like Jensen, I got better sonic, in terms of transparency, dynamic, and better midrange and top end.

DIY like K&K and Marantz 7 based may be a good option. Thanks a again for all inputs.
