Re: Best phono stage ever?

i dislike the word 'best' and even more 'best ever'.

but there are likely 10 to 15 phono stages at the top of the heap depending on your tastes and system context.

some that come to mind in no particular order;

Boulder 2008

Various Connoisseur Definitions models

Wavac

Kondo/Audio Note M1000 MK II, M7 IIk phono

ASR

darTZeel NHB-18NS

FM Acoustics 222 MK III

Einstein

Aesthetix Io Signature w/tubes rolled.

the above list is not complete but any one of them is going to be excellent.

personally; tubed units are euphonic......wonderfully euphonic but euphonic none the less. the combination of your Koetsu and a 'tube sounding' pre would not be my choice.....but that is a matter of personal choice.
