  Impossible to beat for the money. Use one with my mono set up. Can be adjusted to suit any cart. talk to Boris.

Agreed.  I've heard a few of the others rec'd on here.  The Vista beats 'em all....IMHO.

Thanks again for the input everyone,

How does the Vista Phono 1 compare to the 2?

[bacobits1]

Yes the Vista audio 2 is very good!

Not on my work phone while I am in a data center that allows no reception. I'm lucky I had wireless credentials from one of their other buildings. I was surfing while I waited.

Besides, it is hard work, to be this lazy. I work hard at it every day.

Add another one to the list......

Tavish Audio Vintage 6SL7.  American made by IBM engineer right here in NY state.

Just got one.  So far I've run my Cartridge Man Music Maker III (w/ SS level 2 retip) and Dynavector DV20X-LO carts into it.  Superb with both.  Dead quiet, nice tone, organic, palpable, textured, musical.  Liquid and a bit warmish -- but certainly not veiled or vintage "tooby".  Makes music just ooze and come alive outta the speakers. 

(Arms are Incognito re-wired Rega RB300 and OL Encounter Mk3C respectively, on Townshend Rock Mk3 table.  I also expect great performance with my other carts -- Dyna XX2 Mk2 and Denon 103R -- on Jelco 10" arm / Scheu table).

Super flexible in terms of gain and loading.  Handles both MM and MC carts.

I believe the kit can be had for less than $500.

Factory assembled units from $640 to $710, depending on tubes chosen.

Absolutely killer for the $$.  Highly recommended.
