    I bought a second hand Lyra Preamp whilst in Japan which I am having brought up to current spec. I just need a decent phono stage now.

    Yes. Very good and very very expensive.

    My sights are set lower I'm afraid - vinyl is my second source these days. How are you finding the TEAD?

    I was interested to read about this, as I am using the bog-standard MF preamp, bought from Audio lincs. Then I saw the price! It's not only out of my range, it's so far out of my range that I needn't give it another thought.

    Its ok as a stop gap, I am using with a passive vol pot currently - I may get something custom built with a buffered volume control so that I can keep avoiding a pre but without the down side of passive. I may switch to the PS audio or fein units if they work better than the current combo.

    Currently I have been toying with the lyra pre-amp(current model) it is indeed most acceptable, makes the the second system sound most enjoyable. (I prefer it over the M77 call me a philistine! I don't care)
    I have heard the new Music First statement pre at close quarters it makes some eloquent smooth and refined music. A different take on high on pre-amps.

    I guess the Manley is balanced with a vol pot built in so I should probably consider that as well...
