Budget phono: crisp, lively, with controlled bass


Hey folks...looking for a modern, articulate, lively presentation with bass that is well organized...can live with slightly lean bass if bass is of decent quality...looking at solid state designs...not into a warm or thickly midrange presentation...more quick with good PRAT...under 500 bones....

Agree with the Black Cube, but I'd try to locate the Lehmann Black Cube SE version with upgraded power supply.
Research Ray Samuels Audio XR-2...Will run rings around Black Cube, even w/ SE & custom Power supply..Owned em both
