Troika Troubles


I have a Linn Troika cartridge. It is a low output design,.1Mv. I am upgrading my pre amp and will need a phono pre-amp with adequate gain.Is there anything out there that can do the job for under approx.$1,000 CDN. This is proving harder than choosng the pre-amp.For the record I'll be getting a Blue Circle BC21.1.
Thanks for your thoughts.Dave

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.
