I'd put the ASR basis exclusive and wavestream kinetics on you short list. Both are flexible enough to work with a variety of cartridges and both play with the best IMO.
Phonostage pairing?
Can anyone here give a poor fellow fresh off the flat-earth bus any advice about phono preamp / cartridge pairing?
I am undecided over the choice of cartridge to pair with my forthcoming Kuzma Stabi Reference/Airline front end(Koetsu Jade/Clearaudio Goldfinger/Benz) with Gryphon Diablo integrated and ProAc D38 speakers.
The real problem however is that I am being pointed in a thousand different directions by (mis?)guided salesmen regarding suitable phonostages...
Is there a rule of thumb about correct pairing?
I am considering the Whest Audio 2.0
Many thanks
