G'day all, using my Lounge Audio MK3 LCR phono stage this morning, and it is a good sounding phono stage yet as I've said before (possibly many times), with its blue LED edge lighting and general 'size', it is physically not that appealing to me. Maybe it is just too big! 
There is not really that much space in here and for that and other reasons I personally like the appeal of 'small boxes'. I guess for reasons of practicality sometimes boxes have to be big (valves/power supplies etc), yet I've seen some op amp phono stages that are diminutive in size. What is the right size for a phono stage? Regards, Felix.
