I should have just said upgrade. I was thinking that I would probably change to different tubes so I said upgrades.
Cost of Turntable vs. cost of Phono Stage
Is there such a thing as keeping the costs relative to one another? I'm sure there will be some variance because not all equally priced Turntables are of same quality as each other and the same will go for comparatively priced Phono Stages, but generally speaking I'm curious about this.
I just ordered an EAT C MAjor and I am looking for a comparatively equal quality Phono Stage. Thoughts?

@lohanimal I have an Ortofon 2mBlue and have a Dynavector 10x5 on the way. |
If you want a musical phono stage and ultra resolution ain't your goal consider an EAR 834P - they have a musicality and delivery that in many ways transcends price in many ways you avoid the box-swap game. Also Tron (convergent) is a really good sounding stage. Many good shops will lend you a phono stage - i did some reviews about 15 years ago in which I tested a load of similar priced phono stages - there was a great variety in terms of sound, build, and features. Goin on recommendations can take you only so far - for instance i could not love the Tom Evans Groove, Pathos, or Klimo Viv - i could hear what they did. Whereas i loved the Whest, Graham Slee and Paul Hynes - all for different reasons. |
