Best Phono Stage

Spending $2k-$3k is jus money down the drain. You’ll need to spend $15k, minimum, on a phono pre just to get into the minimum required performance from any cart/arm. Spending less is just a leap into the rabbit hole.

That was before I finished my project. Really before my settlement was finalized. 
 

I still have that equipment, in my old listening room. My, what a difference a settlement makes….. But I stand by what I said. Unless you have a quarter Mil laying around. Then diminishing returns are a perk!

You should post photos of your system under your ID. It is very helpful in understanding where your opinion is coming from.

That would do no good, other than fuel derogatory comments. Let’s just say a court settlement went my way. 

Or give your statement credibility because you own something better than Schiit and have a system to justify your opinion.
 

@ghdprentice 

So credibility is measured in $$$$$$$$ now, right? 
 

I spent over $200K on my system. Another $50K on my listening room addition. Finished it up late last year. I designed the edition to my house, but I didn’t build it. I’ll be trading out my Wilson Audio speakers next month; they don’t suit me. I auditioned and ordered a  pair of FR30s, in custom Evening Sahara Sand finish, to match my listening room. 
 

I really couldn’t care less if I have “credibility with you.
