I sometimes wish my vintage Yamaha A-1 dual mono integrated could be hotrodded to 2003 spec's and forget about all them interconnects, outboard power supplies, electronic crossover, line pre amp, DAC + phono stage & corresponding outboard power supplies, power amps, filters, power cords, subwoofers...
Preamp Phono Stage v Standalone + Linestage
I am thinking of changing preamps, and am wondering peoples thoughts on pros and cons of using a Preamp with an Integrated Phono Stage vs a Standalone Phono Preamp (that then feeds a linestage preamp, yes?)
I have never had a standalone phone preamp
Hoping for a lively discussion and also recommendations and favorites
