Looking for a suggestion for a good Phono Stage


I have a Luxman PD264 with a Grado Cartridge and an Audio Research SP-4 pre-amp. My amp is a Classe CA-200 and I have B&W 802 Matrix Series 2 speakers. If I ever replace my TT I would probably go with a higher end Rega.

I think your Mag input is intended for an MM cart., so if you are running it striaght in, without a separate phono stage, that is correct. If not, you may be phono amplifying your phono stage, which should amount to an unacceptable amt. of gain and is thus noisy. The Head Amp input would make sense as an MC circuit, but I am not certain about it. Can you download an SP-4 user manual?
Audiofeil,

Yes we do have the same address, we make the B2B-1.

Your observation has been brought up here before by others. However, if you read my post you will not find any "superlatives" about the phono stage not even a link to our new website just a suggestion to check it out. The original poster was asking for suggestions about phono stages.

I see nothing wrong in that, part of my "job" is to make folks aware of my products.

Yes PBN that may be your "job"... as such, you are a professional who stands to gain from a suggestion involving a product you sell. Such a suggestion must be a biased, even if a good one. Having a motive without saying "dealer disclaimer" or the like, is really not the right thing to do. In the future you can free yourself simply by saying you are a dealer or manufacturer, that is simply more open and honest.
It appears upon further research that I am running the phono through a phono input. Other than upgrading to a Grado Prestige Gold, any other tweaks or equipment recommended to improve my over all sound? I think my complaints right now is that compared to my CDs my record sound is a little flat. The bass seems to lack punch, and the highs could be smoother.
