I too have the RP1 table and am using the Rega Phono MM. I switched to the Ortofon 2M Blue and prefer the sound of it over the Rega cartridges. I even tried the Elys 2. I run that through a Rotel AVR and Monitor Audio Silver RX8's. I used to have a Sony ES receiver and found it to be the cause of overly bright treble through several sources. Knowing that changing receivers is a big expense I would suggest trying the Vincent PHO-8. The reviews said it had a warmer sound. Good luck.
Phono Preamp for Rega RP1
Can you recommend a phono preamp for a Rega RP1 TT with a Rega Bias 2 MM cartridge? I'm currently using a Sony AVR phono input (Sony STR-DA2000ES) and Ohm Walsh Tall 2000 speakers. So far it sounds a little bright. Looking for something under $400. Thinking about:
* Sim Audio Moon 110LP (used)
* Rega Fono MM Phono
* IFI Micro iphono preamp
* Graham SleeGram Amp 2 SE MM
* Clear Audio Nano 2
* Music Fidelity X LPS V3
* Vincent Audio PHO-8
Are there any of these that I should avoid?
Thanks
