Tube based phono stage


I am looking for a new phono stage to use with Feikert Volare TT, Soundsmith Zephyr cartidge, Leben CS 600 and Devore O93 speakers.  Looking for a rich sounding, musical amp.  Tubes definitely a possibility.  Price range around 3 K.  Thanks,  MP

My experience with phonostages are that they are really critical to analog playback and given your other equipment it would recommend you to shop used and try and reach up another level. Phonostages get much better at around twice your budget. Audio Research makes outstanding phono stages. I stopped switching around between phono stages when I bought my first ARC then just moved up their line up hierarchy as my overall system gets better.
