Tube phono stage


Hi!
Can you help me to choose the best tube phono stage for my new system. I have:
VPI Scoutmaster+Dynavector 10x5,Dynavector p-75
Cary Sli-80
ProAc D15
Kimber.
I like jazz and hard rock music.
I will be glad to your suggestions.
Best regards.

I'll assume for the moment you want tube phono sections at reasonable prices. The K&K is a candidate. It's quite good though a little soft. Beautiful tone though. Don't forget to consider the Wright WPP200C. It plays with the big boys at under a Grand, is loaded with tone, and is absent any bloat or slop. The Wright is an objective tube unit, with serious clarity. If you are not absolutely set on a tube phono stage, scour the planet for a used Bel Canto Phono 1. All the tone and aural dimensioning of a tube unit, but less noise and it's a cinch to find room for.
