Phono preamp


Currently using a Sansui 4000 vintage receiver in my second system and was curious if the Schitt Mani or any other similar priced SS phono amp would be an upgrade.No problem with the Sansui but we all like to upgrade for better results.Thanks for any information.

The Mani is decent but you’ll need interconnects. What cartridge are you using? If MM, you could look at tube phono amps. There is an Audio Research PH-3 for sale $750 on Agon.
If you wanted to change to a phono preamp instead, there's a Croft for $895. Both major improvements. You could them look at either an integrated or power amps down the road.
Yes. In my case, I agreed that the Mani was fine but with phono, you really have to spend a little more to get a lot better. Sideways moves are just that.
