Pro-Ject Debut III Tube Box II or BELLARI - VP129

Bellari, only allows MM carts.

Im using the stock cartridge

Or even use Pro-Ject Phono Box II that would be Ok?

No plans to change the cartdrige,
ok less expensive phomo preamp sound good
Thanks!!

I own the Bellari w/Project Debut II. It sounds great but took a lot of fiddling with to reduce hum. I've heard they fixed this issue with newer production, however.

Newbie here, but wanted to make my firs post here in the Analog forum.

I think you'll benefit greatly by getting the TubeBox. I've played with a couple of $100ish phono pre before getting the P-J TB. Now I've upgraded to a better tube phono-pre, but sometimes I wish I had kept it. I'm certain that it will improve your sound to another level.

Also, you will have alot more options on your future cart. It makes more sense to me to upgrade the phono-stage before your Ortofon, unless this next purchase is going to be your last.
