MULTIPLE ARM TURNTABLE


HI all, getting a VPI classic 4. it is capable of having 2 arms., For  turntables that have more than one arm are multiple phone preamps needed for this kind of set up?. Any suggestions what others have done for this situation., thanks

While using one phono preamp with multiple inputs is great (and is what I do at present) others swear by optimizing the phono preamp to the needs of the cartridge driving it -- so for your mono arm you can use a dedicated mono phono stage such as this http://www.thoeress.com/en/phono-enhancer/

I have two arms and am just adjusting my setup with the use of a step up stage which I have specified to have two inputs and the ability to switch between them, the phono stage I am moving to is a straight through single input design with 40dB of gain only so needs a step up
