I know,,, "best" is relative... but what stages would you suggest for audition?

george wright's unit is the way to go, EAR are over priced and under perform.
Tiger,
You are just wrong. The 834p is a fantastic phono pre that has built up very large following in it's un-moded state. When mods are done, the results are stunning. The current price of the 834p is off becouse of the dollar. Everything from Europe is.

+2 for the Dynavector P75 which even embarasses some more expensive preamps quite well. I image the new revision is better. A really good match with Dynavector carts for a bargain killer. But it is a quiet and unbelieve match with low output MC!
Again, it all depends on cartridge selection. At this price point I'd not recommend a low output MC phono pre at all.
