The most important part of a phono stage is accuracy and quiet tube or solid state does not matter but if you use very efficient speakers you will want solid state to avoid noise in your table and i would try a more warm cartridge than an ortofon on the technics table like a dynavector you want to avoid a detailed cartridge with a table that is detail oriented.
Technics 1200G phono recommendations
I plan to purchase a Technics 1200G turntable. Need recommendations for a phono stage. Budget under under 3k, used ok. I do not want to exceed the quality of the turntable, if that makes sense. Would also appreciate recommendations on Ortofon cartridge to match the level of TT.
Will pair it with Mastersound 845 tube amp and Diapason adamantes III speakers.
How much difference does a tube phono make? Is it safe to assume that SS phono will be just as good as tube phono? I'd like to have a totally analog system, including a tube phono, but not sure how much SS phono will take away from analog sound.
