I am having very good results with a Bob's Devices step up transformer. Runs $395 and has improved even phono stages that do not supposedly need it. There is a good review on 10 Audio site. I liked the Dynavector 75 and Blue Circle ones so well I became a dealer for them. The 75 is $750 new and considerably less if you can find one used. Blue Circle has some minimalist ones that look strange but are high value for money. Very good deals come up on occasion on others, too many possibilities to advise on.
Need advice on a good Phono preamp
I currently have a Music hall 5 with upgraded kimber wires .
It has a new Benz Micro Gold Low output moving coil cartridge.
I have currently a low cost opera audio PPM-6 Phono preamp.
I get a low hum in the speakers and it does not seem to do the job.
I can sell it for a loss to move it and can invest up to 700.00 US for a used phono that works well with a low output MC .5MV....
Or should I just sell the cartrige and buy another MM or High output MC???
I used a PS audio PCA2 preamp and a Halo A-21 Parasound paired with Revel Preforma 30's. I listen to rock and jazz.
I use good Nordost and cardas cables.
Thanks in advance for any info......
