How do you know it's time for external phono stage


I have a Classe CAP-100 with the optional phono board. I upgraded my Rega Planar 3 to a P25 a couple of years ago. I upgraded my Super Elys to a DV20XH a couple of months ago. I listen to every type of music. My speakers are Spica TC-60's. Should I expect great improvements from an external phono stage? If so, how much should I expect to spend? Any recommendations? Thanks!

here is a great buy Krell KPE Reference, a commanding phono section due in large part to the massive power supply for this delicate signal...buy it...ps it is not mine...

your new cartridge delivered more information because of its higher quality, the same will occur in most cases by upgrading almost anyother piece of equipment... you get what you pay for, GENERALLY. I think upwards of $800 will get you the beginning of the end in used phono stages.

i may have a Krell KPE Reference Phono Stage for sale in the near future, if you are interested let me know.

enjoy the music
