If you're upgrading tables, what amp were you using? If you're serious about phono it might make more sense to keep whatever amp you're using and upgrade to a much better phono stage. Huge improvement with a good stage vs the card they use in an integrated. Not to mention housing a DAC in the same chassis as a phono stage is death to phono quality.
Need help selecting my new Amp setup!
I am upgrading my TT to a Thorens TD203 while keeping my JBL J1000MV tower speakers.
I have thought about going with either an integrated amp (Yamaha S501, Sprout 100, Marantz PM6006 etc)
Could even go with a vintage unit!
Or going with a separate phono and amp.
The phono that looks like a good choice is Schiit Mani phono and an Emotiva amp.
If i do go with the phono/amp combo i would probably stick with the Mani and find an amp to go with it.
Budget would like to stay at around $700 or less.
Eventually i will be upgrading the speakers, but they are in great working order so im gonna keep them around for a while.
Any and all inputs welcome!
