I have a choice to purchase a phono preamp - ss or tube - either with an attenuator or without it. What are your suggestions?Get the phono stage without volume control, and with gain of >68db or higer, and an output impedance lower than 500ohms across the audio band into the 10k load of the Shiit Sys. Which the manufacturer of said phono stages should be able to tell you.
Then you will not need an preamp, with your amp into the 90db Tannoy Devons
