I have a Luxman 509x on the way. I’ve heard it has a good mm/mc phono stage built in. What would it take in an external phono stage to beat it? Would something like a Parasound Jc3+ be better and why?
The built in phono stage is VERY good so to better it you would need to spend some serious money. With that said, you need to buy the cartridge to work with MC as it’s set to a 100ohm load. Absolutely zero flexibility.
