Great phono pre

Do you need a phono pre with more than one input? Do you want to run balanced or single-ended?

I think the Einstein is really wonderful, and if you're in the league of the Boulder, this seems like a good choice.

I had the aesthetix Janus for a while, and auditioned the stand-alone rhea phono stage, which was very very versatile. I loved being able to change loading by remote, and it had plenty of inputs and outputs.

Let me know how you like the boulder.

I all. I´ve just bought a very very fine phonostage even surpassing the nagra´s. It´s a very very hard to get (as the designer doesn´t really care about time and production issues) Omtec Antares CP-1i V5 phonostage. At a dealers show room it bests the Nagra BPM, the Whest as well as the Ayre P-5xe in most areas. No downsides.

Congrats!
That was fast. I'd never heard of it before. Not much info on it in English, and I no longer speak much German so it will take a while to come up to speed on this.

yeah, Frankpiet, I also could not find any info on this esoteric phono pre that you acquired. Can you point us in a direction where we can read some info on it even if it's German?? Thanx.

The manufacturer's description page only shows the one a couple of versions ago, but it is here.
