Phonostages


I'm new to all this audiophile stuff so bear with the question. What is a phonostage's function and do I need one?

Your MA2275 has a very good phono stage built in. I wouldn't consider buying an outboard phono stage unless you want to go super-high-end or want more features (adjustable gain, loading, etc. for use with a wide variety of cartridges).

Upgrading the TT is a much better idea at this point.

The VPI Scout is an excellent table. One of the very best at that particular price point.

If you have a lot of records, I would also suggest investing in a record cleaning machine and a Mint LP protractor for whichever table to decide to buy.

Cheers.
