Why not stay in the Musical Surroundings family? Clearaudio Concept or Innovations and Hana SH or SL cart. Your excellent Phenomena II will handle MC or MM; I'd go MC. These MS components are designed integrate together very well.
Turntable - The Next Step
Hi All. I currently have a Rega P3 turntable with an Elys 2 MM cartridge and my phono amp is a Musical Surroundings Phonomena II. I am looking to upgrade in the near future. What would be the logical next step up to significantly improve my experience? In an effort to limit expense, will replacing one part of my set up (i.e. cartridge, amp, turntable) do the trick with this kind of budget - phono amp < $800, cartridge < $400, complete turntable , < $2000? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
