Phono Stage -

Hello -

On my second system I am selling my amplifier so I will need a phono stage. What can you recommend? The associated equipment is:
TT: Music Hall 7.1
Amp: Cary CAD 200
Pre: Cary CPA 1
Speakers: Acoustic Zen Adagio

Things I was considering was:

Dynavector P75
CIAudio
Anything else...you tell me...Vinyl is not my expertise.

Thanks for your time and help!

I'm using a Lehmann Black Cube SE with very good results. MM/MC. Soundstage Reviewers' Choice Award Winner.

Diamonds, you haven't given us a budget or told us what cartridge you plan to use. But judging from your other components, I'd put the EAR 834P at the top of your list. This thing breaths life into vinyl like nothing else near its price. Don't underestimate the importance of a phono stage. Read the EAR reviews:

The EAR phono amp with a few easy upgrades is a huge value *especially* if you can run the MM vs MC setting.
For upgrades see Mitch Singerman in LA.
