not to confuse the issue for you, but consider the Sim Audio LP3, which does both MM & MC, and for the money is considered a very good entry level phono stage. I've only used it with MM carts, but have been impressed. It is dead quiet, neutral, and fast. I've seen it offered in the $350-450 range used.
Which entry level phono stage, Graham Slee or Pro-
Hi all,
I'm looking to get a decent phono stage, and in my price range it seems to boil down to the Pro-ject tube box or the graham slee amp 2 SE, both used. At the moment I'm using the om-5 cart that came w my pro-ject debut, so MM, and am not sure if and when I'll try MC. I've read the reviews of the graham which claim its dedication to MM gives it an edge soundwise over similar phono stages that cater to both. Have you all found this to be true? I'm also curious about how much of a tube sound one can get from a phono stage alone. Anyway, any and all help is appreciated.
