That's a given, Mr. Savage. Croft are acclaimed and been in business for many years. You pays your money.
MC phono preamp
System now is:
VPI traveler with Dynavector 10x5
Mobile Fidelity StudioPhono (moving to a different system and I’m impressed for the price)
Rega Brio
Dynaudio Excite X18s.
Looking for a new phono preamp in the under $1000 range, used or new, and I’m seeking suggestions. With three kids to eventually put through college, I’m decidedly mid-fi. I’d like as much low-end punch as the X18s and the Brio can provide but the imaging is of utmost importance. I tried a Parks Audio Budgie out with the system, transferred from a different system, as, even though the Budgie is set up for MM, the Dynavector is high output, and the sound just isn’t right for my ears. I like the sound of the MoFi better (may I’m SUPPOSED to like the Budgie better but they are MY ears after all and this is for MY enjoyment). The MoFi is now in the other system and I’m looking to upgrade for the above-mentioned set-up. I’d appreciate suggestions. By the way, the Budgie would be for sale if anyone is interested.
