I have a Peachtree Decco with Era 5 speackers and a Cary 303 cdp. I'm re-introducing my Well Tempered TT with a clearaudio Vertuoso Wood cartridge. I was considering the Bellari 129 and the Clearaudio basic micro because they fit the very low budget of about 200 to 300 dollars. Does the Bellari have enough output for the cartridge? I know that the clearaudio basic micro has the power but how musical is it? I already have a mullard tube in the Decco's pre .. do I need two tubed pres? Are there other budget phono pre s that might work better?
Thanks for the advice. I'm looking into the Cambridge 640. Are there any other contenders? Which Creek would do better? The seduction sound good however, the Kit part of it is not attractive to me.
