I agree with Tonyangel and Zd542. Fix the NAD. Then consider an outboard phono stage. One worth considering is the Lounge LCR, 40 dB gain, 100pF capacitance. I am using one with a Bluepoint No. 2.
Cambridge Topaz AM10 vs Yamaha AS300 vs Onkyo
Cambridge Audio TopazAM10 vs Yamaha AS300 vs Onkyo A9050?
Setup: Denon turntable, Denon MC (but high output) cartridge, Wharfedale speakers
This is as far as my budget will stretch, and I'm planning on buying new from Crutchfield. I don't have a separate phono preamp, but all of these have a built in one. They're all around the same price as well, although the Onkyo is 50$ more ($350). Which one would be the best option?
I listen to punk, indie, lo-fi, some folk, and ska. All from past 20 years or so.
Thank you.
