Stay with Pass preamps.....you could always get an X2.5 or even an X1 then get an outboard phono form someone else when ready.
Suggestions for preamp compatible with Pass X250?
Recently bought a used Pass X250. Seems like it needs a pre with higher gain to me. I'm thinking something with a phono stage with low output moving coil capability would be optimum and eliminate a box. Tubes or solid state, so far considering Audible Illusions, BAT.
Any other suggestions?? Would like to keep it under $2000 used
