Want new phono amp, what should I buy?


I have a Sota Star Nova turntable with an SME V tonearm and will soon have a Sota Cosmos 4 turntable. I curently have a very low hour Zyx 4D cartridge with the Gold Coils, Purist Audio Designs 1.2m Venustas Rev C tonearm and a Zyx Artisan Phono amp. The rest of my system is Pass Labs XP 10 Pre-amp and a X350.5 power amp with a set of built to the max True Soundworks (Rich Murry) Apogee Duetta Ultimate Signatures speakers. I think the weak link in my phono rig is my phono amp. I would like some recommendations for my audition list?

The Aesthetix Rhea Signature phono stage would balance well in your system. And at a higher level of performance, the Aesthetix Eclipse would be a no brainer if you can make that level of investment improving your vinyl playback.

On the solid state side, the current version of the DSA Phono-One is superb as is the Walker Audio Reference Phono, which provides a bit more subtle, resolving and refined outcome than the DSA or any other solid state phono stage I've heard.
