If you want something very good all around and don't want to spend a great deal of money, you may want to look at cart and phono preamp combo. One I like very much is a Dynavector P-75 phono preamp matched with a Dynavector 20x low output version cart. Its an extremely good value and you know they will match well because they are made by the same company and meant to go together.
KAV-280P & TURNTABLE
Attention all you folks who really understand all these magic boxes ... After much yearning for many years I'm putting together what I hope is a sweet sound, but I've run into a big question. I have my vinyl table running into the Krell pre at S-3, but I can only hear any sound with the pre at max (waaay beyond 11), and even then only a very quite output. Do I need some sort of pre-pre to boost the mag signal out of the table?
Thanks
