Best phono stage?

[Lagonda]

I was very happy with the Luna in my exhibit room with Gary at T.H.E. Show in June.

Ron, how did the sound compare to your Io Eclipse ?

The phono looks great, except the single ground terminal. I sometimes feel that designers don't actually use their products. trying to connect 3 ground lugs to one terminal is a total PITA.

BTW - how does one switch between inputs? please don't say the toggle switch at the back.

Especially if you have to bend yourself into a pretzel to GET to the ground terminal.

Hi,

What is your evidence that CH pays for reviews?

@Zeotrope @Ron Resnick
i don't want to ruin your beautiful dream but unfortunately every company pay for reviews! In Italy, sometimes company, otherwise direct importers pay for advertisement and reviews! this is a fact and we have to acknowledge that. all is part of this beautiful game.

Not every company.

This might be true in some countries. We've been in business near 50 years and have yet to pay for a review, although Stereophile got really aggressive about trying to get us to place an ad campaign. That experience led me to believe that bad reviews are unethical due to a hidden agenda- such as a manufacturer refusing to do an ad campaign.

Ralph, when did that pressure from Stereophile occur? Was it recently? 10 years ago? 20? 30? Just curious.

30. We've steered clear of them on this account ever since.
