Yet another contender for my Klyne 6PE: ARC PH5

Delos, did you mean to write "0.6mV"? I think so. Even that is sort of medium low output.

While you're at it, you might contact Stan Klyne. He still does upgrades and modifications to existing units. I have a 6LX, which is in between a 6LE and a 7 series. Stan did some nice work on my unit to enhance performance. You can even bring your phono section up to 7 series level, if you want to spend some money on it. However, I cannot say how it would stack up against the ARC, except to say that the 7 series phono is liked even by tube aficionados.

Daniele, There's a Klyne 7PX right now for sale on US eBay. Comes from an apparently reliable seller in the Far East, 220V. Shipping to Italy would probably be cheaper than shipping to US.

Daniele, See the link above for the Klyne on eBay.

Daniele, Note that the Klyne 7PX is located in the Far East. Thus there is no problem with high shipping costs from the US to Italy, if that helps.

K&K Audio. Using Google or any typical search engine, you should be able to find it. I use several of their kits in my DIY modifications of existing equipment, and the owner, Kevin Carter, is very very helpful and courteous (especially considering all the questions he answers probably on a daily basis). However, you may find that his top of the line phono stage is more than $2000, even as a complete kit. You can buy a partial kit, wherein you supply your own chassis, etc, for much less however. Then too, you may save on taxes or customs if you buy a kit rather than an assembled unit. I have actually had an eye on the K&K Maxx phono stage for quite some time. I would bet it's superb.
