+1 on the 20/20. The Sutherland, while good at the extremities, is a midrange king - it is one of those SS pieces that just nails it. Of course, the optional LPS is a requirement. I'm a biased Sutherland Big Loco user. The Manley Chinook is also a good piece and yes, it is a hybrid using a JFET in the tube circuit.
Sutherland 20/20 v Manley Chinook
My current set-up is a VPI Classic 1 turntable with a Lyra Delos cartridge, and my phono stage is a Dynavector P75. I'd like to upgrade my phono stage - my budget is $2000. I've read great things about both the Sutherland 20/20 and the Manley Chinook.
Any thoughts on those two? Any others I should consider in my price range?
Thanks.
