Best tube preamp with phono stage and mono switch?

Hello....Do you need a phono stage for MC or just MM? If MM is all you need, I suggest the ARC SP-8 if you like a lush harmonic rich sound. When I first heard this model in 1983, my addiction to tube audio gear was born. If you like more of a neutral sound, the SP-9 is a great choice. The older CJ PV-5 and PV-7 were favorites by many reviewers at the same time as the above ARC models.

Look at an Audible Illusions M3A. It has what you are looking for and will give any of the others a run for the money.

Just curious, why the need for a mono switch?

Consider a BAT VK30 or 30SE with a phono card.

Why the need for a mono switch? Because I own numerous monophonic Jazz LP`s.
