What's the best Phono preamp under $1000??


What should I expect to pay to get something decent?

Thanks in advance. Dave Taylor, chicago

A used Sim Audio LP5.3 would be an option. I have had great success with the one I am using.
A used Plinius Koru, if you can find one. Does it all and is a real sleeper that most audiophiles are unaware of.
AR PH3SE, there are others, but this AR outperforms the EAR834 by a long short. I know, I tried the EAR and PH3 concurrently in my system and the PH3 beat the EAR in every way.
