Another vote for Musical Surroundings. I have the Phonomena II. I got a bargain on a used one. It's very flexible and sounds great. When I was shopping, my short list also included the PS GCPH. They don't come up used often and are usually over $500; but once in a while....
Great Value in Used Phono Preamp’s?
Hey, Folks!I am looking to increase the quality of my phono stage. For many years, I have been using a Bottlehead Seduction that I assembled myself. It’s been great, but having spent some time with a borrowed, integrated amp with a really wonderful phono stage built-in, I think I’m ready to upgrade.What would you be looking for, used, in the $500 range in a used phono preamp? Thanks in advance!
