You asked about the connection of an external phono preamp and just to clarify that point it would need to be connected to any other analog input except the phono input.
What should I expect moving from MM to MC?
I understand it depends on the setup, so I'll start here. I'm starting small (in my quest for music Nirvana!):
- Denon PMA-600NE (70W, dedicated analog wiring, also a "source direct" feature that by passes the bass/treble/balance circuitry)
- Klipsch RP-500M bookshelves
- Klipsch 12" Sub
- Mofi Studiodeck turntable
I was considering moving from my Sumiko Olympia MM cartridge to the Sumiko Blue Point No.3 MC Hi.
Nothing but praise for the Blue Point in all reviews. But will I noticeably hear a clearer, fuller, warmer sound? Or is it a waste on money, focus elsewhere.
Thanks in advance!
