@elliottbnewcombjr Thanks. Arrives tomorrow. Always a good day when new audio stuff arrives! Temporarily cures the addiction. 😎
Phono Stage
I am getting near the end of my current system journey. I have my digital (streaming) side set (for now). It sounds glorious to my old hearing aid assisted ears. And streaming is where I spend the vast majority of my listening.
Regardless, I am now focusing on vinyl, with the recent addition of a P8.
My analog side: Rega P8 w/ Hana ML > Rega Aria > Kimber KS1018 > BHK pre > Zavfino Fusion mk2 > Moon 330A > Transparent + > KEF Ref 3’s. If do a weak link analysis both chatGPT & Gemini say it my phono stage.
So looking for potential replacements. As always I am very space constrained, (half wides are perfect) no tubes and looking to stay under $3,000 used. I like accuracy, clarity & cleanliness.
My current candidates:
Rega AOS
Gold Note PH10
Sutherland 20/20 w/LPS
Sutherland Little Loco
The Sutherland’s work because they are thin and con fit under my raised center channel speaker. The duo stack is too high
Please let me know your thoughts and/or recommendations. Thanks!

@signaforce should be great! Get your favorite records cleaned and ready to spin. Pretty sure you will be spending more time now listening to vinyl. Just don’t bother with the new digitally remastered stuff. Pure garbage in most cases. |
Received my new PH10 today. Immediate impression was oh no… smaller and much lighter than the Aria it was replacing. Those worries were quickly set aside with the sound. It has a much blacker background, slight hiss is gone, & in its place a warm, detailed and airy sound. Excellent. |
