There's a Pass Labs Aleph Ono for sale for $1400 on Agon right now. I have one and love it. Lot's of gain and very quiet.
Phonostage Advice
I own a Modwright LS100 with an internal phono board. Do you believe that adding a dedicated phonostage would provide significant improvement? My budget is $1500 and I am not sure if spending that much will get me something better. I own a VPI Classic II with a Dynavector 20X2L. Thanks in advance.
