A friend runs my own of Bob plinthed 401 with a Jelco 750 and a Hana SL. This then goes through a Beard amp in to some 12inch tannoys.
He currently has a Leema Elements phono stage and is looking for something better. He loves good sound but isn’t a hifi nut. In his words he wants a 30% increase in sound quality 
Budget €1-2k, he lives in Sweden but often travels to the UK.
It’s a heroically unfashionable brand in these parts but the Cyrus Classic Phono is on run out at £1,099 at the moment and it’s monumentally good. I have used the older Phono Signature for nearly a decade and there’s very little I’ve tested under three grand I’d swap it for.
Vida Prima would be my choice under £1k excellent phono stage
Liked the low end black cube and this seems like a good price
Had a Remton and was really impressed with it
Old favourite, the 834p
Rega Aria
I had the Remton and found it a bit dark. I’m really liking my Aria though. Currebtly using it with a Hana SL and an IQ3.
Another vote for the Vida, goes very nicely with the Hana SL.
Excellent thanks all, will feed these back and see what they say
Gold note ph5
This one on pfm would be very nice for half the budget
This isn’t your thread buddy. 
I know right! I’m so confused!
Maybe he thinks we are in a simulation created just for him
He already has his own thread
Maybe he wants all the threads?
