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?

The best mc SUT I have (of the five) is probably the Quicksilver (Mike Sanders).
Keep that SP11! Don't replace it with a Ch*nese - made preamp! Have a competent tech replace some power supply caps, if need be! It already has an excellent phono stage!
And if you need more gain for your mc cartridge, then get a good mc step up transformer - which I do and recommend!
