| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening I suspect, IF you had more power you would listen at higher levels, a little louder, some times, if not frequently. Probably now wanting to push your existing amp to the limit now.I also agree with Eric, at low levels, a bass boost would make a mo... | |

| MC Cartridge for Pro-ject Debut Carbon I have no experience with your specific TT or Phono Preamp,I understand the 'idea' of fixed cartridge, non-removable headshell, one of the reasons I chose my 12.5" 'fixed cartridge' arm.for a single arm table, I would want a removable headshell ar... | |
