Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 Integrated Amplifier / Separate Phono Preamp
I have a Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 Integrated Amplifier with a built-in phone amp. I'm having an emotional desire to upgrade to a separate phono preamp based on Paul McGowan, of PS Audio, recent post saying it was the most important part of an audio system..What budget do I need to have to improve what I currently have and any suggestions?

Hi, As I mentioned in my OP, I'm having an emotional desire to upgrade based on a recent Paul McGowan post regarding Phono stages. So I really don't know what I'm missing, as this is my first system. I think, based on what I do have, a $500 budget, new or used, is what I was thinking. Project DC carbon - red |
This is a well-regarded phono pre that’d likely be a significant improvement… https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbf0fc-lehmann-black-cube-seii-phono-preamp-phono If you can stretch a bit this would be at a much higher level… Best of luck. |
