Does anybody have experience with BOTH of these?

It says the atoll has a dual monopoly design build with 24 volt power supply. Is this good?
Is there a breakin period for phono preamp.

i have a Rega P3. You consider that entry level? 
I bought the Atoll P200SE and received it yesterday. 
How long is the breakin period?

I can buy the power supply. Exactly what do I plug into it? ...the TT and phono preamp only?
Gotcha.

Are there power supplies depending on whether it’s powering a 12v or 24v device? 
Do you need a power supply for each device?

haha, nervosa. 
Things are sounding pretty darn good without spending tens of thousands of dollars. 
- Rega P3 with Nagoaka MP-110
- Atoll P200SE phono preamp
- Duelund oil infused cotton wrapped wire Interconnects with Cardas Silver Connectors
- Marantz AV7704 preamp processor 
- Atoll 500 Amp for Biamping 
- Biamped Monitor Audio Gold Speakers 

This is as much as I could afford! I still need to figure out why there is a small amount of hum apparently coming from the amp when the input is selected for the TT only, even when the TT is turned off!

Well thank you very much Mr. M, that’s what I was going for, band for the buck without being too cheap. lol

I agree on the Nagoaka for detail and may upgrade to what you have later down the road!

The Atoll preamp May still need to open up a little bit. Either that or the Marantz AV7704 has a better phono than most people think. What the Atoll did do which is crazy to me is quiet down the small amount of EMI hum that I have. You can literally notice a difference by turning on the Atoll preamp power switch. How is that possible? 
While the star of the show for me is my actual Atoll amp, I feel that the Duelund wire ICs provide nice open detailed sound and the monitor audio gold ribbon tweeters and proprietary NASA invented cone material add to the sound as well.
