I have a friend that came to me for a phono stage recommendation.He has a Linsondek LP 12 with Lingo ,Ekos Arm .I put in an order for a new Audia Flight for him and it is asolutely stunning in transparancy and dead quiet. I carry the Audia Flight phono pre amp and it hands down will kill anything at the price points of $6k to $12k. I am biased since i replaced Aestheix Rhea and also Manley Steelhead for the Flight and loved it so much i became a dealer.Please underestand that this is not a sales call.I am not familiar with the integrated so i cant give you my opinion on it. I do have other suggestions.What is your budget and what are other gears like,ie speakers ,interconnect etc. FYI Audia FLIGHT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO BREAK HOWEVER IT SOUNDS GREAT RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX . If you want to get more info on it let me know.
Phono Preamp suggestions?
My current system is set up as so:
- McIntosh MA6100 Integrated
- Linn Sondek LP12 w/ Lingo, EKOS arm, Arkiv cart
I've already determined the onboard phono stage on the MA6100 is not going to cut it for this low voltage MC cart; so, what would be a good phono preamp to handle this type of situation? Is a step up headamp or transformer an option also? Or rather, what features should I look for in a phono preamp to make this set up most efficient?
Thanks!
