Any need for Phono stage with Brio

@viridian and @lowrider57 which one would you recommend I look at when the time comes?

Many thanks for the replies, it has come about since reading some reviews etc and got me thinking about this when a Arcam rPhono was used with the Brio.

I am happy with the sound and enjoy what is played, vinyl sounds lovely and had listened to the Brio and Planar 3 with the Elys 2, I was a little skeptical with it after hearing what people had to say but for me (listening from Planar 1 upwards) this had a good sound as a whole.

The cart might be something that I upgrade but I have been looking at speakers recently also which will need to be in white as there appears to be more of a range these days compared to when I purchased mine.

I listen to a various array of music, a lot are second hand and the others are new. Range from Jonathan Wilson to Dance to Elton John and Blue Oyster Cult etc.. I do use a record cleaner too. Stereo and Mono.

I guess a budget would need to be set as the choice could out cost the system?

@viridian many thanks for that he makes a good argument towards the MP-200, looks like I might head that way too.. I guess my budget would be around £500
