    Has anyone compared the Phono Stage in the 50X series Ints to Standalone Phono Stages?

    Reading a lot about carts and stages and many people changing them out.

    From the mid 80s until last year, I was without a Turntable. My wife got me a Rega P3 when I got my Luxman so it's really all I know.

    Albums sound as good or better than most CDs, even vinyl from the 50s and 60s as well as new.

    I am curious to know just how good the Phono in the Luxman Ints is if compared to lower end and higher end outboard units.

    I could be wrong, but does Luxmann use the same Phono from my 505 all the way to the top model?

    Luxman has an EQ-500 which is a vacuum tube amp which knowing Luxman should be good ...

    Thanks Calvin, thing of beauty for sure. I am more just interested to know How good is the internal phone in my 505? It sounds great to me but I have nothing to compare it to.
