Ralph, Do you equate the resonance frequency generated by the inductance of the cartridge being in parallel with the capacitance at the inputs with RFI? I never thought of it that way, as I always thought of RFI as noise that comes from an external source either by radiation through air or by injection into the circuit wiring. The capacity of the phono circuit to deal with the high frequency resonance generated in the cartridge/phono system is identical to its capacity to deal with RFI, I guess.
Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's
I am looking for a phono preamp that will work with LOMC cartridges. Budget up to $2500 but would be quite happy spending significantly less. I have about $10k invested in my table/arm so any appropriate suggestions would be appreciated. New or used would be fine.

Don't forget to consider my TRUMPET MC. https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/hagerman-audio-labs-trumpet-mc-phono-stage/

I also use the PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp. I don't have much experience with higher end phono preamps and I asked for advice on a thread in this forum. For me, it was the ease of use coupled with the good reviews that I saw. I was sick of having to open up the side or top of the unit and figure out which tiny lever to push for the LOMCs that I use. The PS phono preamp has a remote for the settings and you can make changes on the fly to figure out what works best. I've tried 2 different LOMC and I am very happy with the results. |
