What separate tube phono stage do you use ?

Conrad johnson EV1 changed my set up and added such detail. 

McIntosh MP1100. For when you’re ready to stop messing around!

After a succession of NYAL and Conrad-Johnson phonostages, I moved to an Aesthetix Rhea about 6 years ago and have no plans to "upgrade."  With 3 pairs of inputs, as well as load and gain flexibility via the remote, the only thing is doesn't have (and I wish it did) is a mono switch.

E88CC or Russian 6Ф12П. I dont like 12AX7, because it has sharp and metal sound like for guitar amps /people senses it like detail, but its not true/.6Ф12П is penthod /for first stage/ and triod for second /with big current and big mu, like 12AX7/.

Tavis Design has I believe 3 models now.  The 2 entry levels may be all you'll ever want and the high end has received terrific  reviews as well.  Read about the owner / designer and you'll be sol as the type of guy you would like to bus equipment for you.
