I have just replaced my amp with a Cyrus Pre vs2 / X Power combo. Because of this I am now in the situtation of needing a phono stage for the first time as my previous amps have all had an internal one.  My turntable is a Roksan Radius 5 with an modified RB300 arm with a Technoweight upgrade and Incognito Silver rewire. My current cartridge is a Goldring 1042 (mm). As said previously, the Phono stage will be connected to Pre vs2 / X Power and ATC SCM 11's. What sort of level should I be looking towards, to get the most from turntable without going to silly prices?


Thanks


Jamie

With your beatiful setup, IMO Pirmare R-20 or Project Tube Box would be a great.
