I guess it depends on your definition of "reasonably"
Good reasonably priced phono stage recommendation
Greetings. I have a Thorens 140 with an SME arm and an ADC cartridge. I’m in the process of getting a new primary system, most likely Benchmark. For my secondary system I have Wyred 4 Sound integrated with the new Black Ice tube DAC that sounds great. The speakers are Larsen 6.2. I listen to high res files on an iMac and high quality CDs on a Rega Apollo. Occasionally I listen to LPs for things that were never transferred to CD, and using the Thorens is an exercise in nostalgia. So what is a good phono amp given all this? I had a Rega MM once and thought it was basically satisfactory. Possibly something with tubes? Any advice is appreciated.

Take a look at fine Austrian engineering. These guys know phono. https://www.analogueseduction.net/phono-stages-phono-boards/pro-ject-tube-box-s2-mm-and-mc-phono-sta... So does Shannon Parks, his Budgie or Puffin. |
