Enjoy the music, not the format or kit
Naim Superline with the right resistor and a Supercap DR power supply is my favourite sounding stage so far. But it's about £7k new...
Compared a Trilogy 907 with an Aurorasound Vida and preferred the Vida by a reasonable margin.
I still like what the humble Dynavector P75 does, while recognising that it isn't in the same league as those mentioned above.
I also tried a Whest PS30 RDT SE but at the Whest premises in a system that I am not familiar with. DIY turntable, Bruer arm, Ortofon Anna cartridge, Modwright pre-amp with external power supply feeding active ATC150 speakers. Sounded clinical and un-musical, though this was almost certainly not due to the phono stage, so will try one of the Whest PS.40RDT stages at some point.
Hope this helps, FT
