I think a better choice would be to keep what you have, save more money, then do an upgrade. In less then a year, after you've had a taste of the D75, you are most likely going to get the upgrade bug. So, set a goal for a used phono stage in the 1000 to 1500 range or more if you like, or go for a new Primare R32. The R32 is a very versatile duel mono design from Sweden, with a list price of 1500, but today I found out you can get them for less, as with most new audio gear, if you shop. Research them on primare.net or you can find them here in the industry directory: Primare Systems. In the long run, having any nice phono stage to settle on in the future will allow you to up grade or experiment with other cartridges rather than changing out phono stages.
Entry level Phono Stage for Dynavector 10x5
Just received some gifts for the Holidays. Among them was a Dynavector 10x5. Well its blown me away. It has really just given me what I have been looking for since I stared this hobby.
Well I am thinking about grabbing a stand alone phono stage. I am using the internal one in my preamp. I am wondering if the Dynavector or the Jolinda phono stage would be a big upgrade.
I am also wondering which to go with. Obviously it makes sense to go with the Dynavector because of how much I already like the cart they produce. That being said some say the MM is really just ok. Its the MC that shines and of course I would use the MM because the 10x5 is a HOMC.
Question is what would be a better choice? Should I just keep what I have? Any thoughts from people who have used these combinations. Or am I better off just keeping what I have and do and upgrade in the future?
I am buying used and don't see upgrading the cart anytime in the near future.
