Thanks Chayro. I just got the Rega cart and I'm planning on using it until it can no longer track. So, at this point I'm looking for a phono preamp with MM and MC capabilities that I can also use in the future when I need to replace my cart. I found a couple of bills so I can stretch my budget to 1k. I don't mind buying a used phono preamp at all. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Phono preamp for Rega Exact II ?
Hi,
I have a Rega RP3 with an Exact II cartridge. I'm using the phono preamp that comes with the Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum.
While the sound is satisfying, I feel like I'm missing something, the sound is flat, no toe tapping at all. Also, I have to significantly turn up the volume to get the same level of sound I get when using my digital source (PC + Schiit DAC). I understand that the phono preamp in the Rogue can be easily bettered.
So, do you have any recommendations for a phono preamp that would be a good match with this cartridge? I have a $600 budget.
Thanks!
