@Bacobits1, is the Vista Audio Phono-1 mkII both MM and MC? I am surprised the gain is only adjustable on MM. How hard is it to add / remove resistors to adjust input impedance? How much A/B comparison did you do with the Vista mkII vs the Jasmine mkII?
help with RP6 setup
I am going to pick up a RP6 upgrading from RP1 with Ortofon Blue and need advice on the finishing touches:
Rogue 99 Pre.
Odyssey Mono blocks.
2ce's with matching subs.
Never owned a phono preamp. What would the advantage be? What would be a solid choice under 1000? Or is the Rogue good enough.
I was thinking Ortofon Black for the cartridge. Or is there other choices in the 700.00 range? My dealer carries Ortofon and Grado that I know of for sure.
