Super Nova phono stage
« on: 18 Jan 2007, 07:19 pm »
I was looking in the newest Acoustic Sounds catalog, and ran across this phono stage from Musical Surroundings. It has three inputs (i'm looking for two), and a seperate power supply. Have any of you seen this unit, or better yet listened to it? I'm probably going to add a second tone arm to my final tool, and install a mono cartridge for my really old jazz LP's that I value dearly.

It looks pretty cool if you're real vinyl dog  :)

They alos introduced another product, recently. It seems to be the mix of the Phenomena phono pre and battery supply...which costs $600.00 each.  Consolidating those functions to one box shaved $200 of the price....to compete with a new offering from Sutherland Engineering that does the same thing for $1000.00. A good deal made better, I think.

I want something with two or inputs, external loading changes, and a volume control that out front. Know I'm asking for a lot, but want to setup a mono cartride on a seperate tone arm.

anybody here use the AVA phono stages? I'm thinking this might be the right animal, as they'll build me one with two inputs for $899

I have their fine phono stage in my T8. I replaced the JJ 12AT7's with a Telfunken ECC801s pair.  :thumb: The Dynavector Karat's speed, detail and dynamics are well displayed.
