The long awaited Aria phono stage should be here any day now - fingers crossed. It is £800, MM and MC on two separate inputs and various loading options. It is based on the outgoing Ios circuit and sounds very good indeed.
That sounds good value but is a big jump from Fono MC if that disappears. Also previous IOS was improved and put in fancy case - up from £1500 to 4K. Now that sounds like high end pricing to me.
