Oh, now that I would like to hear!

I'm sure you won't be disappointed. It is £680 with dual power supplies of course but that is still an absolute bargain. I've not tried it running on just one PSU yet, I just went straight in with the two. Be careful though, within weeks of trying the Phono 2 I'd also bought a pair of A80's! :D

Hello all Well I've had my Phono 2 in place for a couple of months now so thought I'd let you all know what I think. I'd been using an Anatek MC1 for a couple of years and was really happy with it, but I do like trying stuff out and constantly pitched it against other phonostages amongst which were ...

:clap: Well said that man. The first problem though seems to be getting people to be at all interested in hi-fi in the first place. We had a bit of a party here over the weekend for my other half's 50th birthday with about 25 friends & family. The hi-fi sits in full view in the lounge with my lo...

I think there is a place for reviewers & reviews, one just has to try and sort the wheat from the chaff.

I didn't particularly like the 103, (but maybe hadn't applied enough extra mass), or the Sumiko Evo, or the 1042.
What I did REALLY like at that money was the Ortofon 2M Black it's MM of course but it is superb for the money.

Yes, but you're just guessing! If they are at a bargain price just buy em, try em, (in your acoustic environment and your amps), and if yo don't like em, flog em!
