Pacific valve backs up and services the products they sell. Several of the above mentioned companys have had QC problems and failures in the field. The build quality of the Doge is comparable to any of the above. Im not selling anything here just sharing my experience.
Pre + phono under $2500?
this will be used in 2nd system.
have Nottingham Hyperspace + 12" Anna arm as source, have several cartridges to pair with this rig and all are low output MC. currently have a PS Audio GCPH with PCX mod, it's quite good though I prefer tube. haven't decided on amp yet though most likely will be a tube, speakers will be Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento unless wife makes me sell them to free up cash and I will go for Merlin VSM-MX or Usher BE-718.
I had Atma Sphere MP-3 before, I was very impressed with the sound but it lack remote.
I had Audible Illusions 3A before, maybe it was the tubes I didn't get too excited.
prefer one box solution, but open to pre + phono and will love to have remote & XLR out so I can run long IC.
what else is out there that matchs Atma Sphere MP-3 in sound?
