i agree completely with the above.
but where can i listen to and audition
a whest MCF-V phono preamp?
i don't know any dealer that has on in stock at
all, and don't know anyone that has on to audition
unless i fly across the continent.
it is also very difficult to compare any device,
unless it is in your own system anyway.
how do you know how the phono-preamp will sound,
with different speakers, pre-amp, cables, turntable,
phono cartridge, power conditioner, ROOM etc.??
a review in a respectable magazine, which certainly
could be finacially biased, could give at least
an opinion against other similarily priced products.
without hearing the phono-preamp in my own set-up room,
how could i decide?
