I am very interested in hearing more about the Fosgate phono preamp. I too am using a SimAudio LP5.3 with upgraded power supply. It will be feeding a newly acquired Musical Fidelity NuVista M3 integrated amplifier into either PSB Stratus Gold or Synchrony One speakers. turntables will be either Sota Cosmos IV, Sme 309, Delos; Oracle Delphi V SE, Sme 345, Ortofon Kontrapunkt B; Transrotor Fat Bob, Audiomods IV, Monster Genesis 2000. Will the Fosgate be a sideways move, or something considerably better?
Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp
Does anyone have any experience with the new Fosgate Phono Preamp? I'm currently using the Moon LP 5.3 with power supply upgrade which has been great, but I'm intrigued by the Fosgate. I've been auditioning one for the last few weeks and really like it. It has a very natural tone and listening to music with it is very enjoyable.
My one concern is that I hear much higher noise vs. the Moon when the needle isn't on the record. Not sure if this should be a real concern, given that I like what I'm hearing, but would like to hear other perspectives.
