Have you considered the Rega Aura since they were all designed with each other in mind? I have the Aura with the P10 and Aphelion 2 and it is outstanding.

@drambuiequillhill Thanks for posting this. I recently got the Naia package and also wonder about suitable phono stage. I currently have an EAT eglow petite with a Zesto SUT, which makes a more full bodied sound. @jcoehler Re the REGA Aura, it is MC only, so not suitable for use with SUTs. I also find the load selection only up tp 400 Ohm rather low. With my old rig with a SoundSmith Zephyr MIMC* cart, it sounded best with a 1000 Ohm load. The Aphelion does sound best at around 100 Ohm. Ditto also for only 2 gain settings. Looking for other suggestions: Sutherland, Manly, PrimaLuna, Zesto, PassLabs...? With "rule" of PS cost = half of TT, I would want to stay in the $5-10K-ish range. |
@oberoniaomnia I suggested the Aura based on the OP's statement specific to the Aphelion 2. Of course if someone intends to use a MM cart or non-Rega cart with more loading options then the Aura is limited. Still great, but limited. |
