Developing A Short List For A Phono Stage
Current phono stages are a Esoteric E-03 that has a Transfiguration Audio Proteus and Kiseki Blackheart Gen 1 going into it. Second phono stage is a deluxe Pete Millet with a HO Benz Micro Glider going into it.
I have a Denon DP75 and DP80 getting ready to be used. One cartridge is a Sumiko Blackbird Lo, the second one is not picket out yet, but will be a LOMC most likely.
My preamp has only one set of XLR inputs available now.
So the phono stage should have 2 inputs, and XLR outputs.
I do not mind shopping the used market. I need a quality phono stage, but does not need to be a flagship model, as these two tables are nice but not my reference ones. Well the DP80 could be one once done, so maybe I rebalance the system after that.
Have any candidates that meet these parameters?

@elliottbnewcombjr Chalky was an ass. Don't miss him. |
that's why I said, am I the only one? I look beyond the negatives, (for others also, here, photo site ...) he responded to all my questions, and I learned much from his back and forth with others. If he had shown his two Luxman PD444 TT's earlier, perhaps I would have gotten one instead of my big JVC Plinth. Actually, the JVC is better for me, allows full size component to it's left, and I squeezed my 3rd arm on it. PD444 fit my friends shallower topped rack setup perfectly. |
