I have a BAT VK-P5 which sounds very good in my system, even though it is roundly criticized as second-rate by many. You could also pick up a Audio Research PH-3SE in that price range which I have not heard but so many rave about that it deserves mention here. Based on the several other Audio Research components I've owned, I'm sure it's deserved.
Best phono preamp in the $ 1000 to $ 2000 range ?
Which do you think is the best preamplifier in the mentioned range (it can be second-hand price) ? Is it tube or SS ? For a MC, would you configure a transformer step-up or you would go with a full active solution ? Thanks for sharing your experience and opinions.
