Yes, a step up transformer is an option. Art Dudley did an article on several models in Stereophile. The key is to match your existing setup.
Phono Preamp suggestions?
My current system is set up as so:
- McIntosh MA6100 Integrated
- Linn Sondek LP12 w/ Lingo, EKOS arm, Arkiv cart
I've already determined the onboard phono stage on the MA6100 is not going to cut it for this low voltage MC cart; so, what would be a good phono preamp to handle this type of situation? Is a step up headamp or transformer an option also? Or rather, what features should I look for in a phono preamp to make this set up most efficient?
Thanks!
