Linn Linto - still a world class MC phono stage ?


Hello there. I am considering to buy a second hand Linto instead of waitin more time and buy a new audio research PH5 or a Evans Microgroove plus. Can the Linto still sound in the same league?
Thanks

I've lived with the PS.20 for a few months now and must say that it is neutral with the correct amount of warmth.! Utterly musical with amazing detail, the midband is so transparent that voices and all other instruments are just so easy to hear and locate in that BIG soundstage. If you like the tube thing, that smooth, warm, fluffy sound then the PS.20 is not for you. If you want a musical, detailed and tonally correct phonotage I can't see how you could do better anywhere near the price.
i personnally feel that a good tube system needs something like the PS.20 on the front to speed things up a bit.
The real test is in the eating. Go try one instead of asking for opinions as they can be a bit misleading.
