For this kind of money what I would do first is to replace Rega table and Ortofon cartridge. Used Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm with new Dynavector 20X should do it. I would deal with the phono stage after that if needed.
The Collective Wisdom
I have a Rega P5, Ortofon 2M Black cart, and Luxman integrated with built in phono stage. If I have a budget of less than $2k (including interconnects) could I expect much improvement from a new phono preamp, and if so, any recommendations at that price point ? Not dissatisfied with what I have, but curious what level of improvment I might hope for.
thanks in advance
