The best Audio research phono stage you can afford. I have a Linn (nearly) Klimax with an Audio Research Reference 3SE phono stage… it sounds even better than the Linn Klimax phono stage. Nothing “warm” about these preamps… just detailed and very natural. Also check out Presto.
Linn Sondek Phono Preamp
My Current set up is
Michi x3
B&W 705s
Linn Sondek with Akito Arm
Ortofon 2m bronze
Looking for recommendations for a phono preamp (really disappointed in the michi phono stage). Not sold on tubes, but might warm the system up a little. The michi is very neutral. Also looking for advice for tonearm cables for the Akito. Thanks! (sorry if this post is redundant with others)
