RE: Looking for phono stage recommendations....tubes!

If you can find a used Grado PH1 in good condition, especially later production that came with a buffered "pc" type power supply instead of the basic and annoying wall-wart unit, that would be a wonderfully musical and synergistic pairing with your cart. And unless you are dead set on a tube amp, consider a home demo with a Sutherland Insight set to 40db gain. Compare what you hear in a venue offering live acoustic and preferably unamplified music. You might be pleasantly surprised at what a well crafted solid state circuit can do.
