Phone Pre (new or used) Under $1000 to replace Dynavector P-75
I have a Technics GR1200 with a Dynavector 20x2L cart going to a Dynavector P-75 phono pre - Synergistic Combo for sure. I am considering upgrading the phono stage, but I'd like to keep it to around a $1k. MM or MC could work. I have several MM's I could replace the Dynavector with including a Soundsmith Carmen MKII.
That being said, I'm not sure I can find one new for $1K, but maybe used, tjhat could better the Dynavector. Though Im sure many will argue that. Im not in a position to go and hear anything where I live, so that is a bit of a problem.
I have Thiel CS2.4 speakers running on a BAT VK-3ix pre and a Parasound A21 amp. The preamp is tube the amp is SS. I was thinking a tube phono pre might fit the bill better but I could be swayed either way.
Right now a short list would be:
Croft RIAA (new)
Audio Research PH-3 (used)
EAR? (used)
???
