The DV P-75 would be a good choice. I have one of them on a Scout. You know it will work well with your current DV cart. Not only that, but its good enough to use a LOMC. Currently, I have the low output version of the DV 20 and its a great match. I can't see you needing anything more than that for an office system.
Help phono/headphone stage for Scout Jr. dyna 10x5
First I will start off describing my system:
I have a Scout Jr. with a Dynavector 10x5. Right now I have an Avid Pellar phono stage sitting in my office adjacent to my living room. From the Pellar I have a 10 ft cable to my receiver good Onkyo but nothing special in my living room with all my multimedia equipment (this will eventually be upgraded). Its mostly a hub for all my hdmi vid sources though. I use this setup for just fun listening and nothing super active right now.
I got a great deal on the Pellar but I dont think it will do what I want in the long run and I can still return it.
What Id like to do is have a great headphone stage also in my office with a great set of headphones for more active listening. This will be what can really show off what the system can do. I am thinking some Audeze or something.
In my office I would like to go scout jr/10x5 --> preamp --> 1) headphone stage --> headphones and 2) receiver in the other room.
Or would it be scout jr/10x5 --> preamp/phono stage --> headphone stage --> receiver
I can switch cables but id rather not put the strain on the jacks of the preamp switching things out. Also, I want the phono/headphone stages to be more future-ish proof when i eventually start updating my cart/table.
I would love to be able to do a Herron VTPH-2 as my preamp and then something like the Icon HP8 as the headphone stage as it has the loop out so I assume I could go from herron---> hp8 ---> receiver
Does anybody have any clue if these 2 owould be matched sonically and with Audeze LCD3 or LCDx?
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about with what I want to accomplish?
I have varied musical tastes. Everything from hiphop to punk to classic rock to folk and everything in between. So I would like it to be nice and balanced and able to handle whatever type of records I throw at it.
Thanks so much for all your help,
