Getting a new table what pre-amp to get


Thinking about Clearaudio with MM cart. Wondering what pre-amp to get. If I do get the C.A. my budget would be much less for pre-amp. Should I spend the money more wisely and maybe get a Rega RP1 and an equal pre-amp or get the better table and upgrade later.

Id say get a competent table and the best cart and pre you can afford<<

Rccc is both right and wrong here.

Buy the best table/tonearm you can afford and upgrade the cartridge later.

A good table/tonearm and average cartridge will outperform an average table/tonearm and good cartridge every time.

Buy as much pre as you can afford as well. Its' importance equals, perhaps surpasses, the table/tonearm.
