Given what your cart is, and what your amps are, I wouldn't be surprised if you could do just as well standing pat on the L2/Phonomena combo, or maybe consider adding the optional outboard power supply if you haven't yet. I hasten to add that I don't have any personal experience with either the Wright or the Phonomena, but my impression is that they're probably both good enough pieces that there may only be slight differences (maybe not necessarily all improvements - the tubes will be noisier for one thing, though other areas could benefit) audible through your NAD amps, and you could simultaneously stand to also lose a bit by switching to the higher-output cart (and I say this as a satisfied Glider M2 owner, whose Camelot Lancelot phonostage won't quite accomodate the "L" version). I guess what I'm really driving at here is that you may have more productive uses for these funds elsewhere in the system, 'cause I suspect your phono front end is already nothing to sneeze at compared to your power amplification. (Then again, if I ever go back to tubes in the phono preamplification, I could be very interested in checking out the Wright myself...)
wright WPP100C Phono Preamplifier
ive heard many great things about this pre and i have some questions. i would be using with a scout and glider. presently, i have a glider l2, but my understanding is that without a step up this might not work so well, so i would probably use either the m2 or h2. would this represent a significant improvemnt over the musical surroundings phenomena phono, which im using now? also, i'm biamping a nad c370 integrated and c270 power amp. is using a tube phono ok with this set up? and in general , what are the thoughts of folks here who have used or are using this phono?
thanks in advance!
