Thanks for the responses guys and shedding some light on this.
As Vusi mentioned, I will first start with an inquiry to Conrad Johnson on their phono preamp I have, namely the EF1, for compatibility with a LOMC. If my suspicion is correct that the EF1’s gain can be adjusted sufficiently for a LOMC, I’ll consider them for replacement. I’ll look to gather info on the experiences others have had with them and go from there.
As Viridian alluded to, this will come down to personal preference I’m sure.
