I owned a pH10 for a couple years and its fantastic for the money and very flexible I compeered it to an entry alnic and audionote level3 phono stage and it held its own against the alnic at three times the cost and was better IMO then the audionote, more detail much better bass etc.
Rank your least favorite. Trying to avoid Al poor purchase.
I plan to buy used so I’m not going to dealers to listen to phono preamps.
some context:
AMG Giro, arm, cable and Teatro cartridge.
Hegel H190
Magnepan LRS
I’m 81 still love live and vinyl music. Presently have an ELAC PP2 it’s ok but I want to upgrade while only spending $1000.00 to $2500.00 used
Hegel V10 used $1150.00
JC3 $1800.00
Tavish Adagio $1650.00
Gold Note $2500.00
thanks
