| Need Preamp Advice For Adding a Turntable Add just a phono preamp. Your preamp is great. The Zesto phono stage is great. The Manley Chinook too. If you want to go north of $10k - the ARC PHREF2SE is excellent.My choice would be the Zesto Andros Phonostage. Just google it. | |
| Amp with best bass control Your friend, is my friend....and he swaps gear as much as I do. He loves the amp, but not the preamp. I've never said I wanted the preamp, but the amps are exceptional. Tell Joe I said hello.As for blind, I'm far from blind. I am doing my own list... |
