The Dino is an excelllent phonostage and good value for money (I used to own one too). However, if you add in the powerlead, I would rather save my money for a better phonostage. There are some real nice choices in the $2k range I would consider: Vacuumstate JLTI, K&K audio, Pass Xono. For example, the JLTI has much more resolution, more bottom end extension, more soundstage layering than the Dino.
