I use a Whest PS.30r between a well loaded LP12 and 202/Hicap/200. Great phono stage and James at Whest is a superb guy to deal with. Replaced a Hicaped Stageline. Better bass, more detail, very quiet and adjustable for lots of different cartidge types (currently a Dynavector 20X2H), so balance between different sources is easier to achieve. Expensive though, with upgrades galore to consider!
