The Nova Phonomena uses rechargeable batteries D/C(it charges them itself) eliminating line hums etc. and can be run A/C if you want. It is also very adjustable affording a wide choice of cartridges. There is one at auction on AgoN presently that should be in your $ range.
Need advice on a good Phono preamp
I currently have a Music hall 5 with upgraded kimber wires .
It has a new Benz Micro Gold Low output moving coil cartridge.
I have currently a low cost opera audio PPM-6 Phono preamp.
I get a low hum in the speakers and it does not seem to do the job.
I can sell it for a loss to move it and can invest up to 700.00 US for a used phono that works well with a low output MC .5MV....
Or should I just sell the cartrige and buy another MM or High output MC???
I used a PS audio PCA2 preamp and a Halo A-21 Parasound paired with Revel Preforma 30's. I listen to rock and jazz.
I use good Nordost and cardas cables.
Thanks in advance for any info......
