Newbie Phono Preamp for Clearaudio Concept TT


Be kind because I'm just starting to wade into the waters of MC. I just purchased a Clearaudio Concept TT. I'd like to get a phono preamp so I can give MC a try. Willing for used or new in the $600-$400 range. Seems the Clearaudio Preamps are rated ok but I bet their are some very good opinions here to help me. Thanks for your thoughts. :<)

Which cartridge? Did you get the Clearaudio MC cartridge that comes packaged with the Clearaudio Concept? If no, which cart do you plan on using?
I'll take a look at the moon - Tanks!

It came with a Clearaudio MM cart. I'll use that until I get preamp and then MC. From what I've read you can use the preamp with the MM. There are some nice used MM here. So, maybe try to get a slightly used MC here. But, I'd take recommendations for a MC also - say $1500-$800.

Thanks
