what phono amp for a VPI scout with Lyra Dorian


My system consists of a VPI scout with a Lyra Dorian. The integrated amplifier I use is a Symponic Line La Musica. The amp has a build in phono stage.

Now I was wondering if I were to spend say $1500 on a used or new phono stage would I get a performance upgrade.

I am a bit hesitant to buy a phono separate stage, not only does the phono stage cost money I also will need to buy more (and expensive) interlinks.

Tube phono stages are a no go for me.

Thank you all for the replies.

Sberger, maybe I am mistaken but I heard the ASR phono amps are a bit coloured in their sound. I sounded a bit dark according to someone I know. Do you have the same experience?

To be honest I have never heard of the JLTI i will look to see if there is a dealer here.

Do you know what the differance is between Acoustech and Sutherland? I have seen both the PH-1P and the PH-3D being sold as either a Acoustech or Sutherland. The topmodel the PH-D I have only seen as Sutherland. Then there also is a Sutherland/Acoustech PH2.

Can anyone please tell me wich one is better the PH1, PH2 or the PH3, the PHD is outside my budget.

Is the hubble the new PHD?
