To chip in for the Emotiva, I have the Emotiva XPS-1 pre amp with built in phono stage and I presume there are similarities with the stand alone phono stage. I've got rid of my standalone phonos, so impressed am I with the Emotiva.

xps-1 is the stand alone oneOriginally Posted by ianlenco
yes emotiva make some seriously good and expensive kit. This one is a steal really, and was more so when I got it... £ to the $ was better then too.
Take it this is your one

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

Thanks Jez @ Arkless but that is too much for my budget. The reason I asked if Beresford did was because I am considering selling my Schiit kit for the Beresford stuff and like the idea of matching components. My Schiit kit also consists of a Mani Phono amp that the OP was after

Please let me know asap Ash, I just asked firebottle how much his basic model was, I've also found a 651p in stock at my local richer sounds for £79. So I'm between the firebottle, Arkless and Schiit Mani! Richer sounds are open tommorow too!

I need to hear from Stanley regarding the Beresford.... If you are in a rush Alan, it may be a good idea to press on.
The upside of you getting the Cambridge is that you have the Arkless upgrade option open to you

I will hang on Ash, I would be happy with the schiit but I know I will HAVE to upgrade the 651. I might get tempted to the darkside of the firebottle though. If I get offered a Schiit I'm out. Lol.
