Either stay all Linn or even better go tube amp and pre then switch the plates on the Katans to passive. I've had Katans, Ninkas, and Majik 140's and all sound great with tubes. As far as pre's Cary SLP98P has phono section. You can use MC as long as the cart puts out 1.4 mV Good luck.
Recommending a tube preamp for Linn amps/speakers
I have an Aktiv Linn system (LK140's, Kairn, Katans and Sizmik, Silver IC's) and would like to try a tubed preamp.
I understand from searching to be sure the preamp output voltage matches that of the amps - given this, could someone recommend a nice preamp in the $2k range ? Phono section nice, but not essential ...
Supratek has been recommended (thanks, Lugnutz!) but man, they are hard to come by !!
Thanks for any advice/counsel.
