Phono Preamp question

Hello,

Does anybody use a tube phono preamp with a tube preamp or is that too many tubes in the mix?

I have a Rega RP3 with Elys2 and use I use a Tube preamp in my system..... I am wondering if I should get a SS or Tube phono preamp?

Any suggestions on what preamp is a good match for the Rega.

Thanks
Dan

Hello. Yes, I use a Manley Chinook tube preamp with a Mystere CA21 tube preamp with no issues. I have a CODA solid state amplifier and Totem Sttaf speakers. I had a Rega Planar 25 turntable but recently replaced it with (gasp!) Pro-Ject Debut Carbon with acrylic platter and Ortofon 2M Black cartridge. I was quite taken with the fact that the Pro-Ject sounds the equal of the older Rega with similar cartridge. Everything works just fine and the sound is quite satisfying. The Pro-Ject is just a weigh station on the way to the VPI Scout 1.1. All cabling is handled by MIT Cables. Good luck!

I use Quicksilver tube phono with tube linestage. All tubes is the only way I would go!

I have a tube phono stage built into a tube pre driving tube power amps. In total 26 tubes. Sound is glorius and also dead quite. As far as suggestions you need to specify a price range
