You want to spend $1000 or less and want a phono section. Were I you, I'd drop $920 on the SP14 kit from tubes4hifi.com. It's not that hard to build it yourself. This is a line stage preamp which will stand up against preamps costing much, much more, as well as the classics like the McIntosh C22 or Marantz 7. http://tubes4hifi.com/SP14.htm Pick up a cheap phono preamp and save your nickels until you can afford the phono preamp you really want. Build the SP14 and not only will you have a true hi-end preamp that can't be beat, you'll enjoy the enormous satisfaction that comes only with building it yourself. |
I also agree with Al, some older SS stuff competes extremely well at a great price... I'd the Classe CP50 would be great, a Muse 3 Signature, An Adcom 750, Audio Research LS-9 or LS3B, Coda Windows Continuum 4 or Coda CL and last but not least a Bel Canto Pre 2 or Pre 3. All of these can be had for $1000 or less and compete at a crazy level. I hope this helps. Tim |
Look at the Audio-GD Master 7. It's Chinese and built like a tank. http://www.audio-gd.com/ If you read the product descriptions the designer really understands power supply design. I have some of his older gear and it is great. |
