Yet another phono preamp thread...narrowing my choices: chinook or decade?
Anyone have the opportunity to compare these 2? I am leaning towards the chinook.  
Possible to find a decent mono cartridge under $250?
Not a bad deal, but I feel like I am dipping my toe in mono cartridges for now. Good place to start, but I will definitely consider the AT later if I upgrade

Thanks for the tip

I pulled the trigger on a grado. For the price, it won't break my heart or the bank if I eventually upgrade

Wow...slippery slope. Now I am trying not order a manley chinook special edition, focusing on 1 turntable. I have the money, yes...but. Whew...Google searches are tough. Yes...a bit higher than my original $1000

Mc cart...I am getting my pl600 (silver) returned. Thought of swapping the at cart for a mc cart. One preamp to rule them all?

My vinyl collection is 99% (or more) classic jazz and rock. Is there a reason for a phono preamp with multiple eq settings? That is a bit baffling. I dont play 78s

I know that there are other excellent preamp, but I haven't seen one that does what the ph10 does. At least at this price. Thank you for the vote

The more I read about the gold note, the more I like it. Wish I could hear one

Not sure if this is a dream, but i would like it to control both tables and remember the settings for each. Avoid me constantly tweaking the phone preamp when I swap tables. Seems like the Gold Note does that, but I would have to find one used.
