For vinyl playback I use an EAR Phonobox pre-amp/phono stage and this high quality valve MM/MC phono stage pairs superbly and really compliments the Cambridge Audio ‘British’ house sound. It’s not cheap but EX & Edge users would probably find it a good pairing; from my listening it is hard to beat even at much higher price points and reviews seem to support this. What are others using?
The Phonobox was the last design of the legendary/infamous Tim de Paravicini https://www.stereophile.com/content/tim-de-paravacini-rip.
For me it's a ‘forever’ purchase.
