I think a used Audio Research PH8. I used to own one. The most cost effective phono stage I have ever owned. While I have heard a lot about, for instance the Presto… I have also heard about them failing and getting repaired. Audio Research products incredibly musical. detailed, wonderful sounding components… built to last forever. I now own a ARC Ref3 Phonostage… well, better, yes. My current system is shown under my aid.
