I bought Project DS2 phono because it takes 2 12AX7 tubes and I have some REAL NOS of these . As good as it gets and VERY easy to set-up and use on ANY kind of cartridge .I bought my project from Needle Doctor after hearing it and the Croft with Valvo 12ax7’s from their German plant . 699$ .
Matching phono section with either cartridge or turntable.
Hi All, I have a Rega 25th anniversary turntable and just got a new Clearaudio Maestro MM cartridge. I'm looking to get a new phono preamp and was wondering whether it MIGHT (no chance to audition) be preferable to get a Rega or a Clearaudio phono section, to match either the table or cartridge. I need to stay under $2000 (new or used), and I'd appreciate any other suggestions. I run a Zesto Leto preamp through a PS Audio BHK 250 to Martin Logan Summit X speakers. Thanks in advance for any ideas/opinions/suggestions/etc.Rustler
