The SimAudio LP5.3 is an excellent phono stage in your price range. I also like the PS Audio GCPH which has the advantage of remote control gain, mono and phase.
phono stage and cartridge value
Hi, my first ever thread started on audiogon.I have decided to get out my old LP collection.To that end.....
I am an old guy with some old equipment and limited expendable $. I am in need of a cartridge and all associated sound stage, etc for the analog side of things.
I have;
1. A VPI TNT 3.5 turntable system
2. A SAEC WE-317s arm that I am taking off of my old "clockwork orange" turntable.
3. B&W speakers
4. Quick silver mono amps
5 Mark levenson preamp, CD player, etc
Looking for a recomendation on the cartridge and stage equipment. I would like good value [so I like looking for used components, just do not kbnow which ones]. My hearing is not the best so at a certain point the overly expensive equipment, with the goal of keeping up with the neighbors, is not germain. Dollars I would like to spend is 1,500 or so.
TX, for the help
