Goldring Elite MC - phono stage suggestions

[rmcin626]

Looking to upgrade my current Project phono se box - does anyone have any recommendations that work well with the low output Elite, under a grand.
Thanks in advance

I've tried a couple of ProJect phono stages and not really liked them. I have a Goldring Eroica LX amongst my MCs and it sounds lovely through my Graham Slee Reflex M with a Fidelity Research FRT-3 SUT. The Graham Slee ERA Gold V sounded extremely good with it too.

A couple of suggestions at a grand or less
World Designs Phono3 and PSU3
TRON Convergence
I've Listened to both in my system. WD is very good but the TRON is stunning at the price

Trilogy 906. A lovely, flexible phono stage.

I have an Eroica LX and play it through the MM valve phono stage of a VTL 2.5 pre into a Rothwell low output step up. I've also a Noteworthy Audio SUT which is marginally worse but was only £200 new. Noteworthy is now Deco Audio in Aylesbury but I don't know if the sell them anymore.

I use the same set up for a Koetsu Black.

Thanks Steven, really trying to look at one box solution plus power supply.

Maybe try an Icon. Valves and transformers a happy marriage make with a decent MC

Thanks will have a look at Icon

Sugden has recommended the Goldring Elite as a good cartridge with the Sugden a21 stage 2 riaa.
