I suggest you look at the Lounge Audio LCR MKIII Gold with their Silver step-up amp for MC cartridges. That combo would be a bit under $1500. I have the MKIII Gold with a MM cartridge, and the SQ is simply stunning, especially when I spin one of my 1980s Sheffield LPs or one of my 45 rpm LPs from that time. Hand made right here in the USA, in the Los Angeles area.
Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's
I am looking for a phono preamp that will work with LOMC cartridges. Budget up to $2500 but would be quite happy spending significantly less. I have about $10k invested in my table/arm so any appropriate suggestions would be appreciated. New or used would be fine.
