Well, the Wavac has arrived and put into the chain and as its sound is slowly evolving, it seems both fast, dynamic, absolutely quiet and throwing a wonderful soundstage. It is still opening up after about 6 hours of playing. A bit darkish at first, that was changed by careful placing of the Walker's point stuff under the gear and on top. We will see how it evolves, so far it looks more than just good.
Stand out phono stages
This topic has been started before by others and myself as well, maybe too many times, but it is worth revisiting since the source is so very important!
So far I have had the pleasure to enjoy two worthy phono stages: the EAR 834p and the JLTI.
I have to admit they are spectacular. Obviously the record and all the equipment downstream play a role in the sound heard. In some cases I prefer the JLTI and in other cases the EAR. But neither out do the other dramatically.
What phono preamps outshine others by a big margin, those that can be considered the last phono preamp ever needed.
