So I am back to the game - P10 with Apheta 3 is arriving Tuesday and I need the phono that will fully show the deck and cart potential. Perhaps Aura or Luxman EQ500? What about Sutherland Duo or Little Loco?
Phono Amp for new Rega Planar 10 with Apheta 3
I am looking for a phono stage that let my Rega Planar 10 with Apheta 3 discover its full potential. What are your thoughts driven by experience? I tried new Chord Huey ($1495) but I have a feeling its an underperformer considering Rega's $7k price tag. Similar situation with Rega Aria - will it be enough? Any Aria users out there?
The Rega's top of the line Aura is severely overpriced in US and honestly I am not sure I fully justify spending that much on a phono stage.
Any recommendations greatly appreciated!

I have been truly intrigued by the Herron phono stage and emailed Keith yesterday with some questions. I need to know his return policy as I would be buying phono stage completely blind (deaf, I should say) without a chance of hearing it. Do you guys think running longer single-ended connection (15') between the Herron and my amp, will not cause any issues? As far as I know the Keith's phono is not balanced so I am a little nervous about possibility of noise being picked up by a longer cables. |
