Looking for a phono stage to go with my system


I have a VPI Aries Scout with an Ortofon 2m Bronze mm. running through an Onkyo TX NR905 Receiver's phono input. (70mv (mm,1khz., 0.5%)

I understand that an independent Phono Stage will do wonders for the quality of sound coming from the VPI.

Looking to spend no more than $500ish.

Thanks

You may want to try a bellari - have not heard it in my system but was sounding really nice at " in living stereo" audio shop in nyc. You can swap out the tube, and upgrade the power supply for upgrades.
Jasmine LP 2.0. Handles MM and MC cartridges and you won't have the itch to upgrade or the disappointment of having spent too much money.
