My speakers in a second system are older than yours, Beveridge 2SWs, and the woofers I use with them I built myself in 1970-71. (I am told the original Bev woofers were never very good, and nearly none have survived the 40-45 years since they were made.) the TTs are either a much upgraded Lenco with two tonearms or a Victor TT101, with modified plinth. So I am a firm believer in old stuff.
Phono preamp or SUT for low output moving coil
I have three low output moving coil cartridges
- Cello Chorale
- Van den Hul Grasshopper II
- Zu/ DL-103 Mk II
My phone preamps have phono input (Nagra PL-P and Conrad Johnson PV-7) but do not provide sufficient gain. Looking for suggestions. Open to any and all suggestions including stand-alone Phono pre into preamp line, SUT or electronic equivalent of SUT etc.
