Solid State Phono Pre-amp Recommendations

I use the AVID Pulsus
GAIN 48dB – 60dB – 70dB
INPUT RESISTANCE
100R – 300R - 500R – 1K – 5K – 10K – 47K
INPUT CAPACITANCE
100pF – 200pF – 500pF
By comparison I upgraded from a MUSICAL SURROUNDINGS PHONOMENA II and I was floored by the difference, the AVID Pulsus had way more bass, quieter, and just more musical. A unmistakable increase in dynamic range. Of course everything was the same, when I switched out only the phono amp, back then I was using a Dyna 20x2 Low. I've since gone to the XX-2 MKII. The AVID Pulsus performs very well in my system.

The Manley Chinook got my money.

My 2 cents

Liberty B2B-1

More Liberty B2B-1

Even More Liberty B2B-1

And yes I do make them :-)

Good Listening
