    Hi all,
    using a sumiko bp 2 and was planning on going BPS, with my Origin Live encounter arm and SL1200 (cartridge man isolator now in place)
    amp is an a21ai with zingali prelude 2's doing speaking duties
    isolda all round.

    currently using the inbuilt stage, did have a gsp gram amp 2 but jobbed it on, the inbuilt stage is okay but far from perfect, and wanted to get guidance on what stage would be the best match?

    did think ear 834 but any advice appreciated,

    I would try the Firestone Audio Korora phono stage or the Allnic phonostage. The Allnic is probably one of the best phonostages i hav heard. It's worth a listen. Give Keith a call. www.puriteaudio.co.uk

    I am using a PureSound P10 into my A21SE and without exaggerating I would say it is about a million times better than the inbuilt stage on the A21 that I used to have. Really stiffens up the Sugden bass very nicely during those more complex moments.

    P, if you can, try and get four or five phonos together at the same time, you really need to hear them in your system, Keith.

    The P10 is a wonderful piece of kit considering the modest RRP.
    I use one myself. Vastly better than the considerably more expensive Trichord Diablo I once owned.
