Re: Best phono stage ever?

66.65.147.218

You didn't say what your budget is.

The best phono stages I've ever heard are by Shindo. As a bonus, they are built into his full-function preamps, so you get a linestage as well (and avoid a set of cables - or two if you use the built-in MC input).

They are all tube, and tube rectified to boot... and come with hand-selected NOS tubes by Shindo. All hand-built in Japan.

However they are not cheap. Entry level is the Aurieges which I think is about $4K... I have the Monbrison which is about $8K. And they go up from there. But you won't look back. Liquid, musical, powerful. My Monbrison replaced an Aesthetix Io Signature *and* a BAT linestage.
