Best Phono Stage


Hi all,

I need some advise on a really good sounding phono stage to go with MC turntable set up in the $5k or so bracket. I am completely new to vinyl and realise there a lot here in terms of arm/cart matching MC,MM and I think moving iron but if you could point me in the direction of some good sounding units I can investigate compatibility etc. I don’t own a table or cart yet. I was looking at the Zesto Audio 1.2.

My goal is a liquid engaging sound with deep tight bass and air and separation on top.

Thanks in advance.

@chayro it would be 5k for phono stage. Id like to get it right and not go down the constant upgrade route. Thanks

@rsf507 I have heard others say the same. I think the SUT have a very low noise floor . Did you A/B with and without the PH10. I presume the chain is TT MC - SUT - PH10 - Amp 

Hi everyone, thanks for all your replies and contributions, looking at the the various options the Goldnote PH10 seems to be a good choice with flexibility.

Thanks

@edgewear Dutch fan 😁 that team was legendary imo , Gullet , Van Basten and the boys 👌, thanks for reply btw. I think the Goldnote PH10 is a solid contender and offers flexibility.

Thanks
