hey thanks man i was looking for that last one for a while.

Just bought an MP-3 with phono stage. It blew away a Sonic Frontiers SL2 if that's a recommendation. So far, it's mighty fine.

travis, can you comment on the phono stage of the pre? i've only been able to find small reviews here and there but they virtually ignore the phono section.

thanks

I should have said, blew away the LINE stage of the SF. My friend does not do vinyl. Regarding things on the home front, so many things have changed all at once here that it's hard to talk about the phono stage. Just got Magneplanar 3.6 and THAT changed everything...for the better. My vinyl set-up is weak so it's hard to say much. I got the phono stage in case I got the urge to get more serious about vinyl. I still have about a thousand LPs after dumping a couple of thousand some years ago. Listening to the AR-ES1 w/ Shure V15TypeV (I know, I know) last night was very nice...quiet, big and deep, but again, a lot of that could be the speakers talking. Sorry I can't be of more help.
