When you get a truly great high resolution system you will hear the difference.With a mediocre system you won’t hear much difference so UPGRADE ASAP!!
How much difference does a phono preamp really make?
Sorry for the noob question...
I have a Technics SL1200-GR turntable with two cartridges; a Denon DL110 and a Clearaudio Performer. I also have two phono stages; a Consonance PM6 and the internal phono stage in my Belles Aria integrated.
To my ears, there is no discernable difference in sound between the two phono stages.
I'm just wondering, if I went up to say a Clearaudio Smart Phono, or a Rogue, or even a GoldNote PH-10; would I be able to tell? How critical is a quality phono pre in analog sound reproduction?
Thanks,
Joe
