Personal taste. If you can afford a dedicated phono pre, thats the way to go. If you are satisfied with MM cartridge and MM phono pre, and want to add a MC only, then the cheapest route (vs. a good phono pre with plenty adjustments)is a step up.
which is better ? MC phono stage or MM+step-up ?
anyone care to share what would yield to a better sound or how they are different ?
Some people i know prefer a stand alone MC phono stage. While others swear by the MM phono stage plus adding a step up tranny for an mc cart.
How are they different and in what way is one better than the other sonically ?
thanks
