Phono pre-amps 2026 - Linn Linto distorting again

I’m not sure this is true.

Technology moves on, 25 years is a long time. Whether it’s streamers, CD players, amplifiers, your getting better SQ at lower prices these days.

There are a lot of talented people out there, designing high quality gear.
I know most people on this forum will recommend Naim, Rega or linn. That’s what they’ve been using for past 25 years.

I believe parasound make good quality phono stages at different price points.

I agree with you Keltik. I have a Stageline S for my LP12. But I found a Cyrus Phono Signature with PSXR2 and couldn’t be happier. As you say, it’s so adaptable, being able to change settings on the fly while an album is playing. It sounds considerably better than the Stageline as well.
