thanks so far. I guess my question can be summed up: is it preferable to match my table or my cartridge with a phono section made by the same company? Clearaudio for my cartridge; Rega for my table. Or doesn't it matter?
Matching phono section with either cartridge or turntable.
Hi All, I have a Rega 25th anniversary turntable and just got a new Clearaudio Maestro MM cartridge. I'm looking to get a new phono preamp and was wondering whether it MIGHT (no chance to audition) be preferable to get a Rega or a Clearaudio phono section, to match either the table or cartridge. I need to stay under $2000 (new or used), and I'd appreciate any other suggestions. I run a Zesto Leto preamp through a PS Audio BHK 250 to Martin Logan Summit X speakers. Thanks in advance for any ideas/opinions/suggestions/etc.Rustler
