I have a Luxman 509x on the way. I’ve heard it has a good mm/mc phono stage built in. What would it take in an external phono stage to beat it? Would something like a Parasound Jc3+ be better and why?
I heard the Luxman for a number of hours and it was very good. I’d have to add a $2k+ tube phono stage with NOS Telefunkens to beat it. It’s very detailed and nuanced if only a tiny bit dry and less dimensional than glass amps. Enjoy it.
