Best Phono Pre-amp..for the money?

There's a DIY kit in www.tnt-audio.com that is reputed to blow away the Lehman. Worth taking a look.

This is a recommendation along the lines of using an Adcom preamp---pick up a Bryston .5B, 11B or 12B. They all use the same Bryston phono stage which, when sold (used) separately people happily pay $400. A .5B should be $300 or a bit less, the other two $400-500. You get an excellent phono stage, a lot better than the Adcom (I've had all), and a complete line stage for nothing. I should also add that I had the nearest Bryston service centre increase the phono stage gain from the factory-set 35dB to 40dB and am very pleased with the results. Another similar suggestion is to pick up a used Meitner PA6 or PA6i preamp with MM phono stage. It's markedly better than either the Bryston or Adcom equivalents and for some inexplicable reason the Meitner preamp sells on the used market for as little as $300.

The PH3 is great at about $1k used. You have to hear it.

I'm using a Grado pickup through a Black Cube, sounds real good to these ears. The cube is the size of a deck of cards, and you can fool around with PC's, it's detachable. Can't miss with a used Cube

Sonic Frontiers Phono One, a current class A selection in Stereophile, lists for $2000 but shows up new for $1200 on Audiogon and used for under $1000. I think this is because it has been replaced by the $2500 SE version. Anyway, this unit has incredible authority and detail, quiet background, and tube palpability. I'm not a huge fan of the neutral Sonic Frontiers sound in other gear - I like it but it's not my first choice - but this phono stage IS my first choice.
