Looking to upgrade my phone stage I have a tavish vintage. I am looking at black ice 159,Gold note PH-10 and pathos in the groove any help would be greatly appreciated.
You might look at the AAW Black Swan for $1500, multi cartridge inputs , Front panel cartridge loading, unbelievable low noise and clarity, doesn't sound like tube or SS., sound like the cartridge. Black Swan - austinaudioworks.com
You cannot go wrong with Audio Research PH5 unit. There is one currently available for $1,400 with remote and original packing. I use the same phone stage. You have many options for tube rolling with 4 x 6922 tubes if you decided to do so. Highly recommended.
the ones i have kept are the ayre p5xe and the lehmann black cube se2 and decade
solid state, plenty of gain, dead quiet, utterly trouble free, full loading options, clean/clear/vast image and ample speed/slam, non editorializing amplification....
