Recommend me a new PHONO stage.


I currently use ROTEL RQ-970BX and I am looking for a worthwhile upgrade.
My carts are Denon 160 or Denon 103R. I can use either.
My TT is Rega P2.
I am looking for transistor phono amps only.
Please advise what would be a significant step up from this amp considering that I would like to stay within $500.00 new or used.
Thank you very much.

A used Graham Slee Reflex Era Gold for just a tad over your 500. Awesome phono stage that many sell before they are fully burned in. They take a good 500 hours of constant power to get really going and should be left powered on always. There are others but this one I am familiar enough with to say it. Cheers
