I need help and phonostage suggestions

And as for a productive rec, I highly recommend the Avid Pulsus. Really a great improvement over the SimAudio Moon 5.3LP that it replaced. Especially noticeable in the bass (more defined) and the highs (less bright and fatiguing, though not rolled off).

And perhaps my best advice is to audition before you buy or to buy from somewhere with a good return policy.

If you don't have an Avid dealer locally, Music Direct sells them and they have a great return policy.

That is one thing I will give pbnaudio. There is a 14 day return option. Also props to the Liberty for using FETs, while I am handing out praise. Though pbnaudio then gets points deducted for his "Accolades" section of his website making it seem that the praise was coming from 2 people, when in fact the quotes are from the same person (the reviewer is named and then a quote is given from the reviewer's online forum moniker). But hey sound is what matters, and it is a reviewer whose opinions i quite trust.

I would add the Fosgate Signature to the list (used or demo)

Peter: I would be more than happy to provide an experienced, vinylophile listener experience review of your phono stage if you can provide me with a sample unit for a two month period. The phono stages I have owned ans used in the past include Krell KPE reference, Audio Research 7, Mobile Fidelity x-Cans, Parasound p-100, Musical Surroundings Phenomina One, EAR 834p, Aesthetix Rhea and most recently Manley Chinook.
Let me know if you are interested and I will evaluate and provide a review appropriate for our Audiogon readers.

I think the Linto is excellent and a great value on the used market - If you can find one. Seems that people sell tons of LP12s, but very few Lintos.

Steve,

Thanks for the offer, you are on shoot me an email and we can arrange to get you one of the Liberty B2B-1 for evaluation.

Roscoe, I'm not asking our customers for reviews and directing them to go post on my behalf, that in my view would be much more shady - with my post you know where it's coming form and can take it as you wish. As I have written before I'm extremely proud of this little thing.

Audiophiles always are asking for affordable high quality components, while realizing that affordable is relative, the Liberty line is an attempt at supplying affordable high quality Audio. There will be a Power amp offered soon 110WPC bridgeable into 350WPC followed by a Line amp then a speaker. The power amp is actually in production as soon as we have ample supply it will go up on the website.

I have two of them shipping to review this week.

As Always

Good Listening

Peter
