Phono Preamp w/ Rumble Filter


Looking for suggestions on a Phono PreAmp under $5k new or used that has a rumble filter and balanced outs. Seems these two options greatly reduce choices. Rumble is a must, may can do w/o XLR. Current TT is a Denon 100th Anniversary with a 110 Anniversary MC cart, but may eventually upgrade them as well.

There is a preferred course in high end audio is to fix the problem… never cover it up. Covering up problems makes it worse.

I highly recommend identifying the source of the rumble and just get a great phonostage. I would look for a used Audio Reserach PH8… a real classic, incredibly good sounding. 
 

I have had phonostages ranging from $200 and $17,000. While my current is best… the PH8 was an incredible value.

 

If you could show photos of your system under your UserID I am sure we can figure out why you think you need a rumble filter.
