..What many of us need is top-notch 100% tube head amp
like a modern version of the Counterpoint SA-2. So many preamps have great line stages and MM stages, but then rely on step-up transformers for that last 20-26 or so of db gain for MC. Any ideas?
ARC Ref phono stage.
I have always enjoyed the AR2 reference system phono stage at the dealer. It is always in the reference room, with Balanced ouputs into AR reference preamp. My electronics are single ended SS, Spectral Reference. Question for those out there is whether I would experience all of the sound of the phono stage?
