Suggestion for phono preamp in sub 2k price to complement Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 3 MC
Just got a good deal on a new Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 3 cartridge. I have a vintage preamp that has a MC input but is spec’d for a lower output MC back in the ‘70s. I also want to be able to have the flexibility in settings if/when I change out the cartridge.
I’ve looked at the PS Audio phono preamp and the Manley Chinook both seem well reviewed. Any others I should be considering and I’m not opposed to buying used.
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.
Look into the Gold Note PH10 it's extremely flexible and sounds wonderful. I got one new for under 1300 add the power supply and you're at around the 2k mark. I think it will impress.
