Best cost no object tube phono

Hi Agoners,


just upgraded everything to SS Accuphase, loving it and have no intention to go back to tube pre/power. However, I have to admit that I miss a bit of tube sweetness particularly on mid. What is the best cost no object tube phono stage?

Thanks in advance for any advices

This apparently is still available.

Plenty of features to keep an audiophool busy.

Good grief reimarc!

Might be helpful to start a new thread and keep the concern short and concise.

I lost interest in reading midway thru.

A little of topic, but still relevant...

This brand isn't discussed much, but it is a true all tube unit, AND available without second mortgage. Tube rectified.

Anyone heard one? For the price, it appears solid.
