I would go with the pass phono to play with the pass integrated to mesh into your system better trying another phono stage might work to but staying with the same brand should sound the best.
Which Phono Preamp?
E.A.T. Glo S Petit, PS Audio Stellar Phono, or Pass Labs X-17?
System is:
Pass Labs INT-60
VPI Classic 3 w/JMW 10.5 tonearm
Soundsmith Hyperion cartridge
Volti Audio Rival speakers
