| I'm a total newbee to all this... Phono vs Preamp? I'd suggest just getting a pre-amp with a suitable phono stage built in or separate.The main thing would be to know what kind of cartridge is used on the phono, ie ceramic, moving magnet, Moving Coil (hi or low output)? If it is ceramic, I'd start... | |

| History on ohm A's and F's. Dale,98db in a 300 sq ft room from a single full range driver sounds pretty appealing to me! This is as good or better than the original As and Fs, right? | |
