I currently have the nuvista M3 which has a mc/mm phono stage. I use a ruby 2 and am very pleased with the sound. This ma;y be worth considering though you would have to buy it used.
Best Phono Stages on Integrated Amps?
In an effort to simplify (and upgrade at the same time!), I am searching for an integrated amp with a good phono section. Is there such a thing? I am using a hot rodded DB-systems phono stage, and it seems to be be doing a decent job. Here's how it goes: Project Wood Classic TT, Grado Prestige Gold Cartridge, AZ WOW ICs from tt to ps, Kimber Kable Silver Streak from ps to integrated amp. Anyway, I would welcome comments on experience with the onboard phono stages of integrated amps. Thanks.
