Back to vinyl need phono stage help!

+1 on the ZP3. I don’t own the other phono stages mentioned here to compare, but I have compared it against a Pro-Ject tube box DS-2 and a custom mono unit. The tube box is very analytical in comparison.  The ZP3 was the least fussy piece of equipment I ever purchased. Line in, line out, no buttons or switches required. It’s very quiet, even with my 1941 NOS tube rectifier. I test for noise at 4x listening level and there’s nothing. It’s great for tube rolling - it uses very common tubes. I believe it uses the same tubes as the inputs on your Prima Luna - 12au7 and 12ax7 - so you can save some $ and have more options. I run it with an RCA 1954 5814 3mica black plate and 2 KenRad 12ax7s from ‘51. Some may be turned off by both channels sharing the first tube. It soars through stereo test records and I listen to so much mono it never really bothered me.

Vertere Acoustic's Phono-1. Around $1000 or so. Dip switches on the underneath of the unit. Hits way above its weight. Not a presence in the U.S. or North America but it should be.

Worth a look.

PS Audio Stellar is an excellent choice in the $2,500 range new, used for maybe $500-$600 less.  

op

lehmann black cube se-2 or better yet, their decade

very musical, excellent slam, dead silent, pretty much straight wire w gain

you have the primaluna behind this, so no need for more tubey euphony

spend the extra $ saved on phono stage on records!

Thanks for all the great suggestions! Is the PH10 discontinued? Where did you purchase it from? Looks interesting to me. Does it have enough loading options for MC cart? This is new to me so I have to ask lol?
