I need a cartridge and phone pre-amp and my budget is 2000.00. What would be the most bang for the buck. I don't want to make a mistake due to my financial situation. Thanks.
Many vintage preamps with phono.....go for a conrad Johnson premier 5 or 9. Classe DR series 5 or 6. Audio research 6B,8MRKII,10 or even the 11. SO many at great prices.
I would try new PSAudio phono stage which can be returned to PSAudio for full refund if you don't like it.I likemine a lot since it is fully balanced, have olume control and lot of gain to run even very low MC cartridges. Also lot of adjustment as far as load.
