I've had a Primaluna HP Integrated with a Zesto Andros 1.2 phono stage and couldn't be happier. If you can get a used Zesto, it is the best value in my opinion. Best of luck.
Tube Phono with Tube Integrated Amp?
what are the drawbacks (if any) of this setup?
i recently acquired a VPI Prime (amazing) with a Soundsmith Zephyr MKIII. using a ProJect Tube Box S (which was a phenomenal upgrade for my previous ProJect Carbon table). right now, running this through a vintage Kenwood KA-9100, powering Elac UniFi's bookshelf speakers.
i'm looking to build a 2 channel system that i can grow with, so please disregard the amp/speakers for now. I've read great things about the Manley Chinook and the Allnic H1201. in the event that i upgrade to a tube integrated amp in the future, is there any downside?
i've read on this forum that a tube phono is better paired with a solid state amp.
