+1 for the Aesthetix Rhea. Very versatile, fully balanced outputs, many impedance and gain selections and has a built in demagnetizer for MC cartridges. I absolutely love mine.
Valve phono stage
I’m considering switching to valves for my phono stage... can any of you guys recommend any with balanced outs for around $3800?
Current phono stage is Whest PS.30RDT.
I’m currently using a Roksan Xerxes 20Plus with Origin Live Encounter arm & upgraded Lyra Skala.
Or would I reap great rewards from an arm upgrade...?
Thanks
