Hi
New member here looking for advice on what phono stage would best suit  the Nagaoka Mp-110 mm cart.
My current system consists of a Thorens TD150 Mk2 turntable  connected to the built in phono input on the Kenwood 3020 SE amp.
Any advice on the best Graham Slee amp to try or buy would be welcome.

IMO in my setup (see my signature) the GramAmp2 Communicator with PSU1, does a great job in delivering the sound I like with the MP110
I've been using this TT setup already for several years with much pleasure (and two new styli)
Also tried other phonoamps and every time I came back to the Communicator; it makes music ;-)
 
You could use the GSP loan program to try out a few phonoamps! Have fun ;-)

Thanks for the quick reply.

Would like to try a dedicated phono amp.
Will try and loan either the Reflex M or Communicator.

Maybe try to loan both phonoamps?(one with Basic supply and one with a PSU1) 
I have not listened to a Reflex these last years, possibly also a very good choice ;-)

Hi Darren welcome
why not try the Gram Amp SE 2 it was my 1st GS phono amp, I had been using the built in one on my integrated amp for a while but then got this well what a difference (for the better sound wise) Add to that and the low hiss I was well pleased with It. I now have the Reflex M with the PSU1, got the up grade bug but I don't regret buying SE 2 got a lot of pleasure from it.                                      
Reflex M, Solo (both with PSU-1) CuSat50, Lautus, Spatia & Spatia links cables. Ortofon Bronze.

Thanks for the advice.
Might see if I can try one from the loan scheme.
Really intrigued to see what a separate phono amp can do.
Will definitely look into it.
