My first choice would be cj art/15 phono or ARC ref + ref phono. But if your not the Donald I would suggest the ARC sp16 it's great and it takes up less space and it cost 1/4 or less of the price of the big boys but it will still give you a taste of audio heaven
Full-function/Phono-only vs. Line + Phono Stage?
Hi Everyone,
I am in need of a new preamp. My system is VINYL ONLY. I do not know if I should get a Full-function or a phono-only(like an EAR 834P/ArtAudio Vinyl 1) or a good separate line-stage and separate phono stage. I was thinking that a separates set-up would add more coloration given the need for an extra set of interconnects + the need to run through the linestage, thus a longer signal path. Although, it appears that there are some very good add-on phono stages out there. I don't know. Any comments or opinions?
Thanks in advance!
