Art Audio Vinyl One
Phono Preamp Suggestions
Looking for a phono stage that will work with a Benz Micro low output Ruby 3 cartridge. I require balanced outputs and a volume control. Budget is less than $3,000, new or used. Also willing to consider full function preamps which meet the requirements. Any suggestions or recommendation will be greatly appreciated.

I think you should give this one a try: http://www.violectric.de/Pages/en/products/ppav600.php the versatility of this phonostage is so far second to none. i wish it becomes affordable to me(heh probably the next tax refund) and i'll go fully balanced analogue/digital system. it's very easy to rewire your tonearm for the 5-pin din input connector for the phonostage and use the DIN plug available at partsexpress.com here: href=http://www.parts-express.com/term/5-pin-din?srch=5-pin+din Than I'd use 2x XLR A/B switch href=http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=748855&is=REG&A=details&Q= as I don't have multi-XLR inputs on my preamp. |
Thanks for the suggestions, but neither meets my requirements. The Violectric doesn't have an output volume control and the Art Audio doesn't have balanced outputs. Within my price range the only products I know of are the K&K and Clearaudio Balanced+. Just wondering if there are any other I should consider? |
