Phono stage rec for Rega P25 with ZYX R100-02H
What about the Clearaudio Basic Plus?

The Avid Pulsus looks pretty sweet but is overbudget for me. I just got a Parasound JC3 a couple months ago for my VPI Aries/Lyra Delos at home, so I don't think I can justify another top end phono stage for my office!

Thanks again for all your suggestions. I am finding it to be harder and harder to make a decision here .. too many good choices!

Haha -- yes, you were right. There is a used Allnic on Ebay when I last checked. With the Jolida serving as a radio antennae, I've become (and perhaps irrationally) discouraged with using a tube stage. I don't know if other tube equipment would be...

I was thinking just that. I guess I'm in no rush, because I do have a Musical Fidelity V-LPS II for the moment. I'm still considering the Clearaudio Basic Plus, Ray Samuels Nighthawk, and now also the Simaudio LP3 or 110LP. Hard to justify spendin...

The Jolida unfortunately had to go back to the dealer. I was getting far too much RFI. Switched power cords, used RFI blockers, changed interconnects, changed position, no improvement. I'm back to square one, sadly.

Great to hear that you want to get into classical! There's a huge world of music out there, and if you get serious enough, you just might catch the collecting bug that we've all come down with. If you are interested in the Decca 2: Analogue Sound,... 
Decisions, decisions....
In response to your questions about cartridges, there are two which I'd recommend highly and are under your $2000 budget. 1) Lyra Delos. Bought this recently for my VPI Aries 1 and love it. 2) ZYX R100-02H. Just paired this with a Rega P25 and am ...

Thank you very much for all your suggestions!

Thanks! I think finding the right amp under $1000 is not so easy. This is for a second system. My main home system has a Parasound JC3, which I really like. I ended up going for a new Jolida JD9 II, which I got for a good deal from an online deale...

What about Jolida JD9 vs Nighthawk?

Hahaha -- I appreciate the reply. I had also wondered about the Chinook which is quite a bit more than either unit. I've read some on the forum about the Chinook but haven't seen a lot of pro reviews. What do you think about the CHinook?

I think I'm down to the Audio Nighthawk vs the Clearaudio Basic Plus, but now I'm having a hard time deciding which one to go for. Both have been reviewed well. Clearaudio has won TAS awards, but I'm not sure how much stock to put into that. Night...

Wow, just read some reviews on the Audio Nighthawk and they are quite overwhelmingly positive. This is definitely a contender now ...

Hey, thanks for your suggestions. I had not considered those but will do some research now!
