A new phono pre, to replace my clearaudio basic


I have recently purchased a VPI Scout with a Lyra Dorian. My currnet phono pre is a Clearaudio Basic. Somehow I think the the TT deserves better. The rest of my system is a Rotel RC980bx, RB1070, CEC TL51x, Wadia 12. Interconnects are Cardas hexlink. Speakers are Impulse Aria SE.

I was thinking along the lines of a
Basic+ with accu supply
Bluenote Phono 2 MkII
EAR 834P MM/MC
Array PH-2 (is a lot more expenisive about 2k euro the rest are betweeen 1k and 1.3K)

So let me know what you think.

I have two EAR834Ps being fed by a Helikon/Aries/10.5 and the other by a Argo i/MM7.

This is one of the best values in an MC phono stage. Also if you go this route you might want to install some Telefunkens.
