| 3k Budget for Cartridge, Phono-Pre, and Cables - Recommendations Please My initial thoughts were an Ortofon 2M Black or similar cart and a ss phono pre, such as one by PS Audio or Sutherland.

| 12AU7 Genalex or Psvane for Cayin Hybrid Integrated H80A OP - contact Upscale Audio. Read the tube reviews (by users!) on their website before you call them. Bought many tubes over the years from them for my tube phono, pre and power amps. Have fun! | |
