Thanks for the response. Can you answer one more question for me please? If you listen to the phono sections in different preamps, each will have it's own sound. If you add a head amp, or pre-preamp to boost the signal in a phono stage that is not capable of handling a low output MC cartridge, will the sound only be amplified or will it take on the sound characteristics of the Head amp (assuming that the head amp is a different brand than the preamp).
