Phono preamp


Is the phono preamp on my MAC C30 better than the $100 to $300 outboard ones I can buy today? (MAC has been owned since new is 70's vintage - output is to Fostex CR300 CD
burner-am archiving about 1000 33's).

I'm not sure, but I bet it's just as good or better. They took their phono pres seriosuly in those days because it was the main source for most people. I think you'd probably have to spend a lot more than $100-$300 for a better one.
If you need more gain for a MC cartridge - Mac made a stepup transformer to go with its mm phono built ins. Audioclassics.com should have them in stock. If you have a mm then it is just as good as anything for mm within a 1k range or more.
