I need to get suggestions on a high gain phono pre

I have a space deck and a Dynavector Karat.

Speakers are Merlin VSM-M
Amp Jolida 302B factory modified

I was really wanting to try the Decware Phono Pre-Amp. I've had a hard time finding any feedback on that. I've owned the Herron, Phenomena, and Rogue Mag 99 Phono stage.

I like the tube stages much more. IT really seemed to have more bandwidth.

Thanks,

Have to ask why you got rid of the Herron? Agree with G_m_c, it's a great unit.

I had been a tube phono lover for many years.I was truly surprised at the Walker Audio phono amps.They are extremely quiet and provide gain between 40-66db.Good dimensionality and soundstage.What you put in,is what you get out of it.As with all things in life.Don't overlook the 30 day money back guarantee and you won't have to worry about multiples of tubes,and their heat.Good listening!

I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to match the Herron to the Jolida because of the cost differences and to be honest I needed the money.

But I do agree it was the best I've owned and allmost created goosebumps. I did not feel that it was vastly superior to the 99 MAg phonostage though. I do believe it was better but not by 2800.

Thanks everyone
