I would highly recommend the Sutherland Little Loco current driven phono stage
if you use a low output MC cart
no more settings for gain and impedance
Good luck Willy-T
Manley Chinook SE MK2
What phono preamp and how much would it take to better the Manley? I ask mainly because I have one and considering upgrading. I know it's been stated that it takes $5k upwards to better it but curious of some real world experiences.
