Stand out phono stages


This topic has been started before by others and myself as well, maybe too many times, but it is worth revisiting since the source is so very important!
So far I have had the pleasure to enjoy two worthy phono stages: the EAR 834p and the JLTI.
I have to admit they are spectacular. Obviously the record and all the equipment downstream play a role in the sound heard. In some cases I prefer the JLTI and in other cases the EAR. But neither out do the other dramatically.
What phono preamps outshine others by a big margin, those that can be considered the last phono preamp ever needed.

The ESE Nibiru-This stage will my last phono preamp, it literally sounds like nothing is between the TT and the amp, it is superb. Whatever is on the record is what you will hear. It is also super quiet.

The best thing about it is no one ever mentions it!!!
