better phono stage

I got my Basis Exclusive used for about this amount; a really good phono stage with battery power and two separate phono circuits. I would also look for a used Audia Flight; I have their linestage and it is very good.

I bought a fosgate signature and like it very much. Very quiet in my system. Hve to turn volume way up before hearing any tube rush. I use it with a pass x1 and pass 30.5 to acoustic zen adagio. Source is benz ruby 3 on vpi scoutmaster.

Docdan are you using stock tubes. Heard the fosgate and liked it very much. Perhaps some tube rolling can further the improvement.

I have a Herron VTPH-2 running with my VPI Classic and it is simply an amazing phonstage; very detailed and quiet. And Keith Herron is as good as it gets to work with. Don't know how you could go wrong or even perhaps buy a better phono stage regardless of price. The rest of my system is a Cary SLI-80F1 direct coupled integrated (triode mode) driving Focal 1007Be monitors and HGA DNA/X32 cabling and Benz wood sl cartridge.

Czbbcl what is the price range for the Herron is it tubes or solid state. Thanks for your reply.
