There is a Musical Fidelity phono that is great. It has MM and MC. Only $200-$300 used. Small box.
Phono preamp, all suggestions welcome
I recently bought a Belles virtuoso preamp to go with my Belles virtuoso amp. This preamp does not has a phono stage. I currently have an Ortofon 2M Black and planning to get a Hanna MC or MM. I'm not decoded yet. My TT is a Linn Sondek with updated platter, Ittok and Lingo 3. The rest of my system consist of Auralic Streamer and Vandys 2CE sig. Modest by high end status but very pleasant to my ears.
My budget for a phono stage that will accommodate MM and MC both low and high output is no more than $600.I would appreciate your input, experience and suggestions on the following alternative:
Schiit Mani 2, Cambridge Audio Alva Duo, Moon by Sim audio LP 110 V2, project box S2, Be aware that a small box is preferable. Just by reviews, I'm inclined toward the Moon. . Your suggestions are greatly appreciated
