No need to worry about "too much tubes" in your system. A tubed phono stage will work fine with your tubed line stage pre. For a budget option you might consider Shannon Park's Budgie Phono Stage, vailable on eBay for $499. It's moving magnet only (unless you add a SUT), but does offer 16 different resistance settings (from 6.4K to 81.2K) to tailor the sound to your cartridge. Uses two 6DJ8 or 6922 tubes.
Phono Preamp question
Hello,
Does anybody use a tube phono preamp with a tube preamp or is that too many tubes in the mix?
I have a Rega RP3 with Elys2 and use I use a Tube preamp in my system..... I am wondering if I should get a SS or Tube phono preamp?
Any suggestions on what preamp is a good match for the Rega.
Thanks
Dan
