Pre-Preamp?


I'm investigating replacing my Audio Research SP-11 preamp with a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. The PrimaLuna has only 10db of gain, so a pre-preamp is required for my 0.28mV output MC cartridge. I'm looking for recommendations. Can anyone help?

HI Dave- the Prima Luna Dialog Pre has NO phono stage at all, so you need to get a separate phono stage, another pair of interconnects, and a power cord in order to use your turntable with that preamp.  Take a look at a Rogue RP-5 which does have a good phono stage built in that will handle your cartridge without all the extra cables and hassle.
