Ran a Cyrus Phono Signature for years, with a PSX r2. Superb phono stage, nothing bad to say about it, especially after adding the PSX r2.
Sorry, I have nothing to offer on the other two🤷🏻♂️
I am using a Stageline powered by a Flatcap, old but still sounding OK to my ears. The turntable is a Project with an Ortofon 510 cartridge. Somewhat low output so you need to turn the amp up a little higher than with CD or tuner. Not too much of a problem except when going the other way, when it can blast you if you are not quick. Why do not manufacturers put a gain control on the output of phono stages to suit different cartridge outputs?
The Stageline is better than the lower cost Project and NAD that I moved through. I believe the Stageline is still available from Naim.
I pulled the trigger on the below. PS will be added later on if I enjoy it. I had to move fast since they only had one new left in stock at a good price. I haven’t found a single line saying something negative about it.
Good choice Bb, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. It’s flexibility, with multiple inputs all configurable as either MM or MC, will give you options for future cartridge upgrades…
Little late to the party but I ran the very well regarded Simaudio 310LP (current Neo version) for a number of years, from that I swapped to the Goldnote PH-10/PSU-10 combo, I did compare the bare PH-10 first & was very similar to the 310LP, like for like loading settings & the PH-10 was a bit too loose in the bottom end & lacking some top end extension, changing from 100ohm to 220ohm brought the bass quality inline with the 310LP & helped with top end extension, but was still a bit fuller sounding on the bottom end. Adding the PSU made jumps in basically all aspects.
I have the Cyrus Signature and PS with P8/Hana MH and am happy with it. Huge upgrade over Project and the Stageline. I was planning on a Superline but decided against it, due to the repair issue.
You with the PS on the Cyrus Phono. Is it a big upgrade on the Phono Signature? I read mixed results even though most seem to agree the PS is a worthwhile investment on the Phono specifically and maybe less so on some other Cyrus boxes.
I found it to be an improvement on mine Bb👍🏼
…but then the SuperLine was a massive improvement on the Cyrus and don’t get me started on the new Urika 2
