I suggest looking into the new offering from SOTA, the Pixy. I know one of the designers and have one of the earlier prototypes. We compared the Pixy to mine and could not tell a difference. In my case it replaced a very popular tube based phono stage that is about ten times the price.
Looking for recommendations for a phono preamp under $2k
I took my Thorens TD145 out of the closet, cleaned it changed belt and installed a new Ortofon Red. I'm going to buy a phono preamp and would like some direction....$2k is the most I want to invest..Currently using a Schiit phono preamp.
Thanks,
Bob
