I have a K1xemp and its as good as you can find. If you want the phono boards, you can easily send it to Ayre who will be happy to install them for you. The phono input makes the 2nd input the phono input which reduces by one the total inputs. There are 3. Understand that you should use XLR connectors from your turntable as well for optimum performance
Pre-amp with balanced suggestions?
I'm looking to add a pre-amp to my setup. I've been 100% computer audio for awhile, but have a turntable that I need to integrate now.
I need something with balanced in and out, and I don't need a phono stage in the pre (I have a nice outboard phono pre).
I'm looking for something under $3000 used, transparency, detail, and holographic imaging are my priorities. Something that adds color is not what I want, just neutral and clean.
So what might you suggest?
