I'm gradually upgrading my system, I think the next piece in the puzzle may be the phono stage.
The story so far. I've had my Pink Triangle LPT fully serviced. Works a treat. The RB300 has had the full upgrade, including interconnects, by Origin Live. The old Nagaoka TS11 has been replaced with an MP-200.
I'm using an external phono stage with my Arcam FMJ A-19 - a Moth 30 two box phono stage bought secondhand over 20 years ago. It works well but I could do with a little more grunt at the lower end. As the Moth is an older piece of kit how do you think its performance compares with modern phono stages?
As dealers tend to stock particular brands, not sure if I could audition and compare different brands at one store.
So I'm looking for pointers, brands / models to consider. Rega? Graham Slee? Pro-ject? Creek? Lemann? And considering my system, how much to spend to improve on what I already have.
