For tube/hybrid, ARC's PH3 is a great phono pre with about 56db of gain.
Phono Stage Pre Amp
I'm looking for recommendations on a decent phono stage so I can try vinyl in my system. From the posts I've read, it looks like a vpi scout is a good entry level tt. The question now is how much do I have to spend on a phono stage to surpass what I'm getting out of my current system?
