Phono preamp with headphone amp
Hi,
I am thinking of buying a VPI prime scout with Ortofon MC Quintet Black S. Are there any good phono stages that also have a headphone amp?
Many people suggested spending in the 1000-1500$ range for the phono stage. My budget is not allowing me to buy an amp as well. So I was wondering if there are phono preamps in that range that also have a good headphone amp. I have focal elears that I listen to.

you should buy a nice preamp with a phono stage, or look for a headphone amp with one. the pre-amp would give you something to work with for future upgrades when time and funds allow. one other option is an active speaker system there are a couple out there that have phono stages. Audioengine comes to mind around $300. hell something like a Shitt Audio; Mani phono $129- Fraya Pre-amp $699 and a set of active speakers for the rest of your budget would give you a pretty good starter system hell I bet it would quite be nice. you’d get head phone and speaker playback. oh just thought of another idea. ifi audio retro 50 system right at your budget. https://ifi-audio.com/products/retro-stereo-50/ |
