EAR 834P is one of the finest phono stages at this price point and it is tubed.
Phono Stage Question
I have a Goldring 1042 MM cartridge which has an output of 6.5mV. I am currently using a Monolithic PS-2 phone pre and I am looking to upgrade to something different, like a tube pre. Are there certain units I should be wary of given the relatively high output of my Goldring? What should I consider in the $1000 price range (new or used)?
