I really loved the Vaccumstate JLTI with my Lyra Argo - fast, detailed with excellent resolution. The JLTI particularly excels in terms of imaging; even much more expensive phonostages do not go as far into the corners as this one; excellent separation between instruments as well. It may be lacking the utmost tonal contrasts a good tube stage can provide, but then all the tube phonos in that price range do not come close to the resolution of the JLTI.
what phono amp for a VPI scout with Lyra Dorian
My system consists of a VPI scout with a Lyra Dorian. The integrated amplifier I use is a Symponic Line La Musica. The amp has a build in phono stage.
Now I was wondering if I were to spend say $1500 on a used or new phono stage would I get a performance upgrade.
I am a bit hesitant to buy a phono separate stage, not only does the phono stage cost money I also will need to buy more (and expensive) interlinks.
Tube phono stages are a no go for me.
