Rega Naia Aphellion 2 phono preamp

You may want to look at Whest phono stages, I have the two.2 discrete threw my P8 at it, yep...me likey, have a mofi ultra deck with master tracker...same result

@superhonestben thanks for this. never seen it before. What have you used before? What cartridge are you using on P8/Mofi?

I notice there are no capacitance settings on the Whest, so no adjustability for MM carts. Also not sure whether the dip switches can be combined, say 100 + 220 Ohm = 320 Ohm. Looked at manual, but not clear from it.

Otherwise I like dual mono and class A output stage. So on paper looks interesting. However, I generally detest poorly accessible dip switches (had that on a Vincent PHO701), much prefer easy access front knobs, like on my current EAT eglo petite.

@oberoniaomnia    Ok here is my experience, I also just got the P10 with aphelion2. The p8 believe it or not has the cheapie carbon and sounds quite good, the Mofi has the master tracker. I also have a Rega Aria

I also have a Graham Slee mm stage but I also have a very interesting product from Graham Slee, its called the elevator, its a preamp you connect your MC set up into AND then the output goes to any MM input and you would be hearing the performance of the MM....I was listening to the P10 thru the Aria and then I hooked it up to the elevator into the Whest......Clocks to Kittens did it sound better, I mean quite a difference.  I am still in the trying things out/break in stage.

True the dip switches aren't super easy to get to, but not bad, I haven't tried it yet with the Whest MC input yet.  I also have the Whest rtd40se coming so will give that a go

Music Direct has them now at unbelievable 50% off with 60 day money back, they may go quickly, worth checking out and with 60 day money back cant lose.

@superhonestben Thanks for all the details. OK the GH elevator is a step up transformer. I use a Zesto Alesso SUT, and it sure makes a difference in sound with the Aphelion2, more full bodied. Played around quite a bit with setting on the Zesto also to check which combination of gains on SUT vs PS plus volume setting of pre-amp (PrimaLuna EVO 300 pre) plus resistance in SUT vs PS sounds the best to me in my system. Lots of fun!

Will keep an eye on the Whest products. But I am not in a hurry. It typically takes me a year to place an order. I am not one of the high gear turnover people. I rather think long and hard, then keep and forget about it.

No the Graham Lee elevator is a solid state moving coil head amp, it is not a SUT.
