Having owned a Rotel 970, I really didn't think it was that diffucult to best it without spending much more money (like a Musical Fidelity x-lps - *way* better in every aspect). I would rather risk buying the Soundsmith $199 phono stage unheard than the Rotel. Peter knows his stuff. That's just me, though.
Cheap SS phonostage
I'm looking for an inexpensive (under $200) to mate up with a Sumiko Pearl MM cartridge.I've heard the Parasound PP-1/PP-2,but was wondering what else might apply.The unit should be small and w/o tubes.It will be used in a bedroom system, with a Winsome Labs Mouse driving my DIYs or re-built Radio Shack/Lineaum Pro LX-10..
Anybody heard the "baby" Soundsmith at $199?
Thanks in advance, for your thoughts.
