I use both SS and tubed phono stages. Both types can be great however I don't get the best from my tubed unit until at least an hour of warm up/play. If you are someone who listens to an album or two at a time then I would choose a SS model that can stay on 24/7 and be ready to go whenever you want. Just something else to think about...:)
Considering a new Phono Pre-Amp
Hey Everyone,
Going to try and keep this short and simple.
I am considering a new Phono Pre-Amp. Currently have the Sim Audio 110lp V2 and it has been serving me well but wondering if a better Pre-Amp could further improve the system.
Here is what I am considering after much research and reviews:
- Herron VTPH-2A
I have read many great reviews of this particular device.
- Manley Chinook
Once Again read good reviews of this device also
- SimAudio 310lp
A step up from what I have now and has had good reviews. Also, everyone who reviews it states it’s extremely quiet, so I suppose that is a plus.
-Goldnote Ph10
I like the ability of this device to change settings on the fly. Have read good reviews but also possible noise issues?
The Herron and Manley of course are tube based so that’s one of the biggest differences between these 2 and the SimAudio and Goldnote.
I don't think I could go wrong with any of these because they are all quality products.
Well I wanted to get the communities opinion.
My only fear is, with my system, would I experience an improvement or not? Not Sure
Thanks
