The Chinook is an excellent unit. Very full bodied and has lots of loading options. The only thing I don't like about it is having to remove the cover to change gain settings. If you stick with one cart (or type of cart), this isn't a big deal.
Suggestion for phono preamp in sub 2k price to complement Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 3 MC
Just got a good deal on a new Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 3 cartridge. I have a vintage preamp that has a MC input but is spec’d for a lower output MC back in the ‘70s. I also want to be able to have the flexibility in settings if/when I change out the cartridge.
I’ve looked at the PS Audio phono preamp and the Manley Chinook both seem well reviewed. Any others I should be considering and I’m not opposed to buying used.
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.
