The Sutherland 20/20 with LPS gives me exceptionally clean, clear, smooth dynamic sound. Perfect synergy with my tube preamp and solid state amp.
Whether running an Audio Technica ART9, Ortofon Cadenza Blue or Lyra Delos the sound is exceptional.
Phono stage shoot out: best mid priced unit?
OK am curious what the experience is with the following phono stages:
Tavish Audio Design Adagio
Gold Note PH10 with PSU 10 power supply
Manley Chinook
Whest Two.2
Pass XP12
Parasound JC3+
Sutherland 20/20
Priorities are: sound quality, flexibility and adjustability with differing cartridges, low noise, and overall quality. I left out the Herron VTPH2a as it's out of production.
Of note I've purchased an EAT Petit, which for $1500 seemed like a good choice, but I'm wondering if spending a little more is the wiser choice. The new Hegel V10 is also about the same price, but too new to know anything about it.
Thanks!
