Jasmine LP 2 mkII - under $600. Beat out the Vincent 2 boxer and the Pro-ject phono tube box. See my threads and system page.
How much to spend on a decently good phono stage?
I've gotten some feedback (and read comments elsewhere too) that suggests that the sub-$500 phono stages leave something to be desired. For a system with fairly high end components (Pass/ARC/Cary/B&W) but with a modestly priced turntable (say $1000) how much should a person spend on a phono stage?
I've learned that some you really prefer specifics, so let me just throw a few models out there at different price points for your recommendations.
1. $400 (Pro-Ject Debut Carbon)
2. $900-1000 (Rega RP3)
3. $1500-2000 (ClearAudio Concept / Rega RP6 / VPI Traveler)
