What is your current phono-stage? In my limited experience, I have gone from an integral phono-stage in a Yamaha R-1000 receiver to NAD PP-1 to Lehman Black Cube to Heed Quasar. Suggest you consider the Heed (as well as the latest offering from Lehman).
phono amp +/- €1500
I have been thinking of investing in a separate phono stage. Right now my digital source (transport +dac) are at least as good, maybe better as my analog source.
Maybe a phono pre amp will bring my turn table to a higher level. However in my price range there are so many phono pre amps that I have no idea where to start. I do not mind to buy second hand.
Phono stages to come to my mind for what ever reasons are:
Nagra BPS
RCM Sensor Prelude IC
BMC MCCI
Astin Trew AT8000
Symphonic Line phono
Blue Amp
Goldenote Phono 2
But where to start. Would €1000 be enough to gain a significant increase in quality or would I need to spend closer to €2000.
I would prefer a phono stage that can do MM and MC.
So what do you think.
