There are many, Plinko. But to get right to the heart of what Nsgarch is talking about, I would say to look for phono stages with FET high gain stages instead of transformers or tubes. Transformers are going to filter out dynamics and tubes can do the same but mostly they are just plain noisy in high gain circuits. That's not to say that tube phono stages in general are bad. There is just so much better resolution with a properly designed SS gain circuit for LO MCs.
Arm and MC transformer to match ZYX Air3 cartridge
I'm planning to update my system. I plan to get the ZYX air3 cartridge. I'm also looking for an Arm and a MC transformer to go with it. What is the best arm and MC transformer to go with it. I listen clasical and Jass music.
My current system is listen below:
Turntable : Michell Orbit
Arm : Rega RB300
Cartridge : Grado Reference Sonata
Phono Amp : Audio Note MM Phono
Integrate Amp : Chord 3300
Speaker Kharma CE320
