I bought a £40 Cambridge Audio phono stage and sent it off to Zanash who totally re-designed it including making up a much better external PSU rather than the wall-wart type they supply.
Works really well.

Phono Stages, Prices...!

Can you show some pictures of the Cambridge Audio phono stage that Zanash has modified? It looks like a very well designed phono stage by looking at the inside, but I haven't had a chance to listen to one.
PRO-JECT mainly, apart from the M.F. KWPHONO, normally £2500.00 i sell it for £1000.00 as it is discontinued, never sold one before, also Rotel make some good phono stages,

That LCR phono looks fantastic.
The quad phonostage doesn't seem too bad a deal if you have bought into the rest of the quad system. It can be a cheap to produce but you are buying the brand and the phonostage fits nicely into the quad system. If quad brough out a budget amp and pre then a budget phono would follow. So there is no need for them to have a lower priced product as the £1K phono will sell very nicely.
There are lots of other more expensive phonostages that can possibly argued not very good. But we don't know unless we try. For all i know the Quad phono could be a killer product.
Best phono i have heard around that price tag is the Anatek MC1.
I think it could be the bechmark.
