Phono preamp suggestions

Phono stages are a nightmare as you cant normally audition them, also personal taste play’s a big part.

However check out “Leema Acoustics : Essential Phono” it’s an exceptional unit priced at about $795
However as your in the States maybe a Jolida JD9 is worth a try, it’s a top piece of kit, at about $500. has a tube output stage. Good luck.

Peter, I certainly don't mind manufacturer's posting in the forum section, you bring a wealth of information to us hobbyists.
However, this is the 24th thread in which you have pimped Liberty Audio. Yes, you do acknowledge that you are biased, but I don't think these forums are supposed to be used for shilling your wares.

Cambridge 641P since they don't make the 640P anymore. I have a 640P with a power supply upgrade (Pangea P100) and it is a really well made great sounding thing. It's major flaw is that it might not be expensive enough.

I have a Pro-ject Xperience acrylic with dynavector 17d3 cart and I use the ps audio GCPH and have been very happy with it. it is a fairly versatile pre.
