How will you split $3000 between phono and cart ?
There is a Conrad-Johnson Motif 7 that is a solid state preamp with phono for both MC and MM. You should check it out in the archives. It is listed for $1,100.00 or make offer. My son has one of the Motif's, forget which, a two box system, that ha...

Hum from both speakers...This is New Please read.
You don't say what type of interconnects you have. I had a problem similar with WBT's, they can be hard to get to affix correctly. That caused and when tightened ended a hum. Hope this helps

I had a slight buzz or hum problem, seems when I was exchanging and trying new interconnects the WBT's weren't as tight as could be. Was driving me crazy. Just a thought.

Hi Sthomas12321, Have had a pair of the Legacy Focus 20/20 for a few years now and have not seen the need to replace them. But am looking for something that has perhaps more depth, disappears more easily and maintains the PRaT of the Legacy.
