Need Recommendation: Phonostage
Hello all,
I am interested in upgrading my phonostage, taking my sound to the next level. As of now, it is weakest link in my setup and I could use some advice. My current setup: Preamp: C1100 Amps: MC601 Speakers: Focal Scala V2 Phonostage: JE Audio HP20 TT: Prime Scout Cartridge: Cadenza Bronze Cables: Cardas Cygnus There are 4 phonostages that I am interested in and can afford, but won't be able to audition in my system prior to buying. I could really use help understanding the differences and/or issues and get a sense of what would be the best one to get for my system. They are a mix of SS and Tubes: 1. Zesto Andros Deluxe 2. Esoteric E-03 3. Pass Labs XP-17 4. Audio Research PH-9 Thank you for your help.
