I agree with Zd542. There's a Conrad Johnson PV-10A with MM phonostage in the classifieds right now at a great price. It would be a really nice one box solution. Old CJ preamps are classics. Do a search. If I were in your shoes, this would be at the top of my list.
???Phono Preamp for Rega RP3 W/Elys2 ????
Just purchased a Rega RP3 with Elys2 and looking for reccomendations for a decent preamp. My system includes the following;
Paradigm Studio 100 mains and servo sub
Parasound preamp
Theta Dreadnaught Amp
Kimber Kable thruout.
Have been searching on line for suggestions. Currently considering Jolida jd9, Cambridge Audio 651p, and a few others. Tube vs SS??? Prefer to keep around the $500 ballpark. Thank you all for your opinions. Im a vinyl virgin and a bit nervous diving in.
