Phono-Pre Suggestions ?????

I'm glad to hear that your feeling better Subcoolman. The Ear IMHO sounded like the best choice. I purchased a Lyra Lidian Beta cartridge for it too. I do believe that the Dynavector would also be a great choice. After I get situated and tuned in I'll drop you line. Again many thanks to all of you for your input and suggestions. This site is second to none.........period !!!!

I do appreciate all of your input. I have been resaerching a great deal and couldn't make a decision based on what I obtained. The PH3 does have a lot of favorable comments and reviews. However this is a little over my budget at this time. The cube in it's entry level configuration does have a tremendous amount of posotives too. The SE model would be a more likely candidate from what I've gathered. This leaves the EAR unit. I feel that this unit is an excellent choice too. I bought a new unit with volume control here at the Gon this evening. Now I need to get a great match cartridge for this newly aquired phono pre. Any suggestions would be graetly appreciated. Budget is 500/600 with a little room to play. Again,thank you for all the help. This site and it's memebers are awesome to say the least !!!!
