budget phono preamp choice
i am currently having a creek obh-18. however, its
background hum or buzz is little bit too noisy to me. maybe it is too
old, some part gets wrong. thinking of buying a replacement, couple come into my list,
cambridge audio duo/solo,
graham slee gram 2 se,
rega fono mk3
lounge lcr mkiii
i don't need consider mc currently. i am using a project debut carbon with ortofon red 2m.
please gives some
suggestion. thank you very much.
Would highly recommend the iFi Zen Phono with the iPowerx power supply - around $250 total, and a very refined phono stage for the price. The Schitt Mani is also a great phono stage for around $150, especially for MM. I have experience with both, and they beat out some much more expensive phono stages in my system. Cheers, Scott |
Also take a look to Lehmann audio black cube. Has a separate unit for power supply. Amazing quality and very quite. I am using it for almost 4 years. no complain. https://www.lehmannaudio.com/phono-stages/black-cube.html All the best |
