If you can get a Herron VTPH-1 for $1500, nothing new or used in that price range will come anywhere close. If you pick up a MC unit, Keith Herron will probably convert it to the proper gain as well as put in the latest mods. Herron might even have a VTPH-1 taken as a trade that might be available. The only way to be sure is to call. In any case, Keith is always good for helpful conversation.
best phono stage to mate with a London Decca Super Gold cart?
Greetings All!
I'm looking for recommendations for a phono stage to match with my Decca Super Gold cart.
I'm currently using the phono stage on my Doge 8 preamp which is OK, but not stellar. Table is a Roksan Xerxes with an upgraded RB300 arm (Incognito wiring and Audio Origami external cable).
I'm open to either S/S or tube.
Budget up to $1,500.
cheers,
Norm
