German "plug and play" turntable


I'm looking to get the Clearaudio Concept MC and obviously need a phono stage.

The Nano seems to have decent reviews for its price but there is also a model above that called the Basic+. Cant find much on that one and was wondering if the price difference is worth it. €295 v €690.

Any help would be appreciated.

The nano is a very basic phono. It works well in a budget TT set-up. It is better than you'd expect for the price -- but no better than that.
So with the Clearaudio MC, I expect the nano will be the limiting factor.

The Basic+ is a full scale phono -- not exotic mind you, but quite a good performer. You can use it with upmarket analogue systems.

In other words:
If you can afford the extra 400 euro, go for the Basic+. If not, you'll get good music out of the Nano, so any way you go, you win!
BTW, I listened to the MC package and liked it a lot (no, the phono used was exotic).
