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
