What is the Phono stage you have finished with?

I've settled on ARC phono stage built into my sp16 pre-amp.

It's pretty solid top to bottom. Also reasonably quiet for a tube phono device, as long as you use a very low noise tube in tube slot 1 of 3 in the phono section. Anything less than a top performing tube there can result in significant noise levels. I listen mostly to digital, so I have very low tolerance for any background noise that I can hear, even with ears close up to tweets when nothing playing.

Audio Icon PS3.

An excellent tubed phono pre.
Doesn't seem to get much attention outside of the UK for some reason.

Am pretty happy with my Pro-ject Tube Box SE II, but then I haven't tried many others.

Graham Slee Reflex M phono preamp with Graham Slee Elevator, VPI Super Scoutmaster Reference rimdrive, 10.5i tonearm, Lyra Titan-i cartridge, Classic platter. Extremely happy with this combo.

After going throguh a bunch including a project tube box and a Wright 200WPC, Bottlehead Seduction I went with a Hagerman Cornet II. amazing
