It’s not tube but the Nagra BPS is excellent and is very compact. I’ve not heard a phono stage reproduce instrument tone better than the BPS.
Small factor phono stage
I am putting together a small system for my second office. Space is a bit of an issue. Plan to listen to mainly vinyl ( no streaming ).
Looking for a small phono stage; one box ( ie no external power supply ), tube based preferably. Price range 2-3 K.
Have an old Triode amplifier - to start with- but will likely upgrade down the road.
Thanks
