Recommendation for phono stage


I would appreciate some advice on a good phonostage as I have a well tempered turntable with an Ortofon cadenza black cartridge. some additional comments on adjusting load impedance as I understand that is important. Budget is $5000

Following the lead of @slaw, the two Herron phono stages (no longer in production) can be had for not that much dough. Their owners love ’em, so you’ll have to be patient waiting for one to come up for sale. Mine isn’t.smiley

The VTPH-1 came in two versions, one for moving magnet only (VTPH-1mm), the other (VTPH-1mc) for moving coils. The VTPH-2 came with inputs for both types.
