What separate tube phono stage do you use ?


Allnic, Manley and Herron are quite common. Interested in what else is out there that is not mentioned often. Good enough performance at the level of entry level Allnic and above. Lamm is great, I know.

I have a Zesto Andros 1.2 that was bought used and really like the unit.  Very low noise floor and little apparent distortion, uses 4x12AX7.  Can be switched between MM and MC inputs, lots of loading options on the MC input.  MC gain is via transformers, Jensen JT 44s..  I have one turntable into the MC input and my other turntable with a diy SUT using Jensen JT 347 transformers into the MM input.  
The Andros Deluxe adds a balanced output requiring a slightly different circuit and uses JT 347 transformers for the MC input.
