Simaudio 810lp vs. Brinkmann Edison phono stage

Raul, you’re correct but my point was that a preamp with an output impedance of 1000 ohms can drive even as low as a 10K load without problems of the sort you mentioned. And  the great majority of amplifiers especially including solid state ones, have an input impedance well above 10K.

Raul, Interesting take. I find Brinkmann to generally be incredibly well built and engineered, the turntables particularly so, and it caught my attention that Brinkmann himself refers to the Edison as his "definitive statement to the analog art", given the magnitude of his turntables. But I also heard the Edison could be prone to certain noisiness. I ended up with the FM 123 which is en route. 

Dear @gmercer : You can't took a better decision that your waiting FM123, congratulations for it. The FM electronics are " light years " a head of that B tube unit.

@rauliruegas Thanks I can't wait for it to come in. 

Hi Gmercer. I not familiar with the unit you are going with, but I can tell you that I owned a Brinkmann Edison briefly which I purchased second hand, purely on reputation. I have great respect for Brinkmann turntables and arms but the Edison was a significant disappointment. I found it detailed but rather etched and cold sounding in my system. Not my cup of tea.
