Umm, Marakanetz, the Aesthetix is an all-tube unit.
Stand alone phono stage?
I succumbed to curiosity & bought a dynavector dv20x H last week & i'm afraid i've been infected w/ the moving coil illness already. i guess i'd like to try a low output next but, i think my noise level is too high. i'd prefer to keep my system all tube if possible but i don't know if that works w/ moving coils. what preamps should i audition/watch for to match a low output mc? are there any mc phono stages w/ xlr outs and tubes that would fit? my system = modified oracle mk. 1, moded hadcock arm, arc sp9 phono stage(replacing), arc ls5 mk 11, arc vt130, soliloquy 6.3s.
thanks for your ideas,
