I'm looking for suggestions for a phono stage for my Technics SL 1500 C TT.
I am currently using the built-in phono stage, but now want to upgrade. I know there is a plethora of phono stages at all price ranges, but realize higher price does not guarantee good sound.My budget is $1,500-2K.but willing to spend less if a good match for my turntable.
I've read a few reviews from budget phono stages to my budget range and slightly higher.
My associated gear is Blue Circle BC 300 pre-amp and Blue Circle 1022 solid state amp with classic Audio Physic Virgos loudspeakers.
I'm currently using the Ortofon Pro S30 MM.
I should also mention, i'm approaching 70, and have some hearing loss,but minimal acording to my doctor. So maybe a higher end phono stage may not be in my best interest.
Which phono stages should i look at?
Thanks!

- The MC section of the MM/MC model is not so great, but the MM only model is a winner. /nt\ - Opus 33 1/3 14:53:43 05/2/21 (0)
