Troika Troubles

Message boojiking ( Mike Soares ) who is a Linn expert. He had a phono stage for sale this morning in your range. He'll tell you if it'll work with a Troika, and he might point you at an alternative if his is sold or not up your street. Good luck !

Why don't you look at Blue Circles BC27. It has more than enough gain for the Troika. At a later date it can upgraded to Pi version for even better sound.

Unless I'm mistaken the BC27 has only 59db of gain. My current pre-amp has 62db and you almost have to turn it up full to get a reasonable amount of volume.
One option I have been told about is the Trichord Dino. It has selectable loading and gain,but I have no idea of how it sounds and unfortunatly it seems likely I'd have to buy itunheard.
