What is the Phono stage you have finished with?

Hello, Like many I have an e.a.r 834p, and it has served me well for many years, I am now however looking for a new MC phono stage. I am up for going quite a few stages up from the ear (so the next phono will last me a few years!).

Would like to hear from you guys who have already gone down this road!
Happy listening

Cheers
James

PS Audio GCPH - granted, low in the food chain compared to many here, but it does a great job in my system!

VTL TP6.5: after I've heard quite a lot of other phono preamps, like Tron, Tom Evans, Aesthetic, Nagra, Blue Amp, Audia Flight, ASR.

the quality performance on your analog rig will be the quality performance on the " poorer/poorly " link on that analog chain and IMHO that line stage ( where the cartridge signal must pass ) that you own is that " poor/weak " link, so IMHO it will be a better choice/alternative to see the phono stage change ( for a quality improvement ) like a whole: pho/line stages, as a fact and IMHO these two stages most be in reality one integrated ( synergy ) unit.

IMHO it does not make sense to buy a " Ferrari " with bicycle tyres.

Agree with Rauliruegas -

Hence, the Leben RS-30EQ

Tube rolling to this day...
