help me pick a phono preamp.

Hey Todd, ignore my former posts. Heck, ignore all of the other posts. I'll give you a great price on a slightly used Grado PH-1--well matched to your cartridge, and they have such informative customer service.

Please enjoy. ;)

Edesilva, sorry you've had a bad experience, but just to balance the dialog over the Grado PH-1, another Audiogoner, "Dennisb," recently purchased the Grado Sonata 0.5mv cartridge and the PH-1 phono stage and he seems to be very pleased with the combination. I don't recall what line stage he's using, though.

Thanks for the offer. However I'm going to get the JA Michell dino, as it has finer adjustments.
