You are absolutely right about the gain. I don't understand why a phono stage that cost $2500 CAD have fixed gain of 52db? I was keen on tube phonos staged that's why I bought the 'Simply Phono',otherwise solid state Gold note PH10 is an amazing phono stage , where you can adjust the gain. Ph10 did not crete any noise in my system. I tried couple of phono player, both were noisy. My issue is without even turning on the phono player, by just turning on the phono preamp, connected to my preamp I hear this very unpleasant noise. As soon as I unplug the RCA to pre amp or turning off the phono stage the noise disappeares. I also found out any wifi extender plugged into wall socket close to my equipment induces considerable noise.
