Phono Preamp price range $2000-$4000


I want to buy new Phono preamp for Shelter 9000 cart, the sound i want very neutral and high resolution and balanced, also synergic with Krell gear.

JC3 have good reviews but some complaint its noisy, Sutherland Duo look very promising but no reviews, Pass lab XP-15 sound good choice.

I appreciate any comments or thoughts about these models particularly Duo. Also some suggestion for other phonos, most reliable and popular, also sonically impressive.

Cheers.

Thank you.

I have to give a vote for the Herron VTPH-2. I purchased mine from an authorized dealer. He gave me a good price with full warranty on a piece he took to an audio show. I've used it with my Transrotor Fat Bob s with an SME 309 arm and Benz Micro Ruby 3, then a Graham Phantom Supreme II with a Benz Micro LPs. The sound has been very enjoyable, smooth and detailed both at once. The dealer who I purchased my YG Acoustics Carmel speakers from was so impressed, he became a Herron dealer.
