  Since you asked for best-sounding - Roksan Xerxes with Artaxerxes phono stage.

  The original Artaxerxes was very compact, being designed to fit inside the turntable plinth. The Artaxerxes matched well with Roksan's Shiraz MC cartridge, itself a great match for the Artemiz tonearm.

  I'm not sure if the Artaxerxes is still available, though, as I can only find standalone phono stages on the Roksan site

  EMT 948 or 950, these come with a good built in phono and sound great.

  It has a defeatable internal MM preamp and comes with a serviceable cartridge. Its fully auto, too.

    Do you know how much of a step up your Denon is from the DP-29F ?

    The DP-29F looks on Amazon like it may be "crap."

    Thanks,
