Just to point out, I already have a very good fully discrete phono stage: the Pass Pearl
So I'm looking to see what would get me solidly into the high end in terms of sonic reproduction/performance from a DIY offering.
Spedifically want a stage with 60+db of gain, dont think I want a xformer step up, or tube step up in the first stage.
Mike thanks for thinking of me with your Cambridge unit.
Colin thanks for the info.
I wonder if Luvdunhill, Nate and Kevin Gilmore could also weigh in of the +/- of the K&K offering, or something better.
Cheers
Pete
