| Pulled from old theater I like your idea of a Mono Garage speaker, next is: what content?. I just finished listening to Benny Carter Quartet Mono, 1959, ’Swingin’ the 20’s’. Mono cartridge, preamp L+R > L speaker only. As I write, I just listened to a Stereo LP the sa... | |
| Is great sound possible through an on-board, MM phono stage? glennewdick You don’t need a SUT for MM or MI, Assuming you have only 1 MM Phono Input (preamp or integrated):IF you have 1 arm with removable headshell, and a few cartridges, one being a MC, then a SUT for the MC with only 1 input will do: IF it ... | |
