You have a pretty good set up already. For my money I’d invest in a decent set of balanced cables. That long of a run in RCA cables is asking for trouble with noise. Especially coming out of a phono preamp. All my source equipment is 20 feet away from my tube power amps. I use XLR for the long run from my preamp. I have zero noise using those cables.
Best way to spend my money
A digital guy asking the analog group basically so bare with me please...right now i have a VPI scout 2 with a high output Benz mc cartridge....going into a Gold note ph10...a 15 foot run of rca cable into a Pass labs int60...my table is set along a sidewall be cause of no room for the table around the rack.....So my questions is this...I have a grand to spend..should I buy a power supply for my phono amp...should I get a better low output mc cartridge.. or should I buy xlr cables to run from phono to the integrated...I hear a promise of better things to come and I have no expectations to better my digital setup...thanks

I have had the high output Benz cartridges (there are a few, so I don’t know if you mean something humble like the Gold, or a little more fancy, like the Wood H. If it is more like the former, I found getting a low output MC like the Hana S was an enjoyable difference for me. Of course, a thousand dollars would buy a lot of records, so there’s that. You have a good system - buy a whole bunch of great records you can love for decades. Best bang for the buck... |
