I would like to dip my toes into the tube/valve sound and I think the phono stage would be the best and cheapest place to do this initially to get an idea of what it’s all about (I’ve never heard a tube amp other than online videos).
My current TT set up is as follows:
Technics SL1500C
AT VM95ML
LYNGDORF TDAI 1120 internal phono stage
I’m close to purchasing the Croft RIAA for £499 but I thought I’d ask the following on here:
1 - Does anyone have any experience with the Croft RIAA and if so what do they think
2 - Any other valve phono stages in the same price range that anyone has experience with and can recommend ?
3 - is £500 not enough to get a decent valve PS that will provide an improvement on the internal phono stage in my amp (which is better than the internal 1500c one)
Thanks in advance !
