Allnic H3000 with Mullard rectifier tube, surprising what a difference it makes. ARC ph5, always musical.

Inna, why are you so interested in all of those very expensive phonos for a MM cartridge?? The purpose of MM is to get very high quality audio at a cheaper price. I use a "Budgie" with NOS Telefunken tubes that put it over the top, and I couldn't be happier. https://www.finn.no/bap/forsale/ad.html?finnkode=134570891 https://www.themasterswitch.com/best-phono-preamps |
Just as a reminder, there ARE high output cartridges that compete with, if not surpass, low output moving coils, and are fully deserving of a superior RIAA phono amp. Grado and London, both moving iron designs, need only 40dB or so of gain. George Counnas includes a setting in his Zesto Audio Andros phono amp specifically for Londons, as does Mike Moffat in his Schitt Audio Mani. |
