Best cost no object tube phono


Hi Agoners,


just upgraded everything to SS Accuphase, loving it and have no intention to go back to tube pre/power. However, I have to admit that I miss a bit of tube sweetness particularly on mid. What is the best cost no object tube phono stage?

Thanks in advance for any advices

Thomas Mayer (vinylsavor.com) has 3 models single ended tube LCR (10K, 14k and 23K euros full silver) and 2 models fully differential LCR (28K and 75K euros full silver) phono preamplifier.  Each are custom build to order.  All his LCR transformers are Lundahl and Lundahl silver.  I heard the his entry level once while I was in France quite some time ago, and could not compare it to anything then.
