Which phonostage should I choose (or would you choose)?


I’m upgrading my current phonostage (Sutherland 20/20) and after an exhaustive list, I have narrowed it down to 2 very different units- the Sutherland Duo (the new LPS version) msrp $4,700 or the Zesto Andros Deluxe msrp$6,700. Although there is a 2k difference in price just assume I (or you) can be had for same price.

I may be able to have both in my room at the same time but what do ya’ll think - comparing strengths and weaknesses either from spec or having heard both or other feedback you’ve heard? Thx in advance.

Neither!

If you really want to get better sound the Modwright PH150 or PH 9 Phono stage, or the Manley Steelhead are the units to look at,  I recommend these 3 phono stages mainly for sound quality and ease of use. The Phono pre amp is the gateway to great vinyl. These are the best sound improvements no matter cost.
