I built and use the Eros 2 from Bottlehead with a Rega P6 with Ortofon 2M Bronze cartridge. I have been very happy with this setup. I really like Bottlehead gear. Bottlehead provides extremely good instructions for building their kits and help with troubleshooting is amply available through their forums. Most of all, I like how Bottlehead equipment sounds. Count me a Bottlehead fan boy. Most of my main system is Bottlehead.
Phono Stage: Cornet3 vs Eros 2 vs Parasound Hint6
Hi Everyone,The bottlehead sale as me thinking about a phono stage upgrade.
My signal chain so far:
Fully upgraded KAB Technics 1200
Mogami Wire
Kef LS50
Parasound Hint6
The stock parasound is very good and I'm quite happy with it. I wouldn't be thinking about an upgrade unless the sale was on. I've built the Hagermann Bugle in the past and was really happy with it, so i threw the Cornet3 in the mix. The circuit board is $60 and you source your own components -- not a bad deal. My end goal is a fully built out DIY audio signal path to the extent that makes sense.
