Sutherland makes some nice phono preamps. I'm using a relatively inexpensive TZ Vibe with a Hana ML moving coil cartridge. It sounds great to me, but I'm not a real vinyl guru.
I have a tube preamp and solid state amp.
Tube or solid state phono stage?
I have a high end all tube system (AR 750 SEL amps, AR Ref 6 preamp, SF Aida speakers) and am now adding a turntable with a Benz cartridge.. Should I stick with buying a tube phono stage or go with solid state? I’d like to keep my system all tube but I’m worried a tube phono stage may make the vinyl too warm sounding and not dynamic enough.
thanks in advance for any help!
