If you have no phono section at all and are on a budget the Dynavector is very good. Another unit, rather rare used, is the Audio Note Zero phono stage; it is quite good once you upgrade the coupling capacitors. The Audio Note is a moving magnet phono stage so you would require a transformer step up device.
P75 seems more sophisticated than Black Cube
The Black Cube SE cost about $100 more than the P75 yet the P75 seems to be talked about as if it is more sophisticated product. That just seems to be the vibe I get from posts about these two when searching the archives. The price of these two is about my $ limit and I don't see much else to choose from. I plan to try a low output MC in the future. Perhaps looking to another Dynavector, Lyra (?), or Shelter in the future.
Also, does anyone know if the Black Cube SE will be cheaper if purchased while in Germany (vs in the US)? I can find this out on my own - just asking if anyone has quick knowledge and also where did they get there BC in good 'ol Deutschland?
