In the Thread: What Is The Minimum for an "Acceptable" Phono Stage?

Post Subject: More mileage to the gallon?Posted by rowuk on: 3/4/2013

Is this not similar to gas mileage? In Germany, we have busses running on fuel cells. Is that optimum transportation? Well it depends. A Mercedes Benz E-Class automobile gets better diesel mileage than their much smaller B-Class with the same sized engine.
With a phono stage it is not necessarily a question of $19.99/9V block. Maybe we need to spend $39,900 to get an "acceptable" low power solution fit for the ISS. It would be interesting to know if anyone has ideas in low power topologies. The rest of course is trial and error depending on the sonic goals of the individual.
