SOTA Pyxi. I found it a big step up over the highly rated tube based phono stage that it replaced at about 1/10th the cost. ET 2.5 tonearm, PTP Solid 12 turntable, retipped Ortofon Cadenza Bronze cartridge.
phono stage help please.
So my Schiid Mani 2 blow up and took my power amp along.
Fortunately in case of amp it ended on replacing main fuse not so bad deal.
Anyhow Mani 2 is out of picture and I'm looking for suggestions, I'm debating Pass Labs Alph Ono or XP-15 as phono stage. For now I'm running Ortofon 2M Black cartridge in my VP! 1 classic but I'm thinking of replacing it with Hana ML. rest of my system is JBL 4367, Threshold T2 preamp and Threshold S550e power amp. What would be the best configuration for Progressive rock and Electronic ?
Guys I'm open for suggestions but I would like to stay within Pass products new or vintage. Also if anyone can explain me why Hana ML low output is superior to high output cartridge?
Cheers
