German "plug and play" turntable

I'm looking to get the Clearaudio Concept MC and obviously need a phono stage.

The Nano seems to have decent reviews for its price but there is also a model above that called the Basic+. Cant find much on that one and was wondering if the price difference is worth it. €295 v €690.

Any help would be appreciated.

Excellent choice. The tone arm hight is adjustable it's simply not user adjustable.

Thanks. I dont want the phono to be the weak link. Sounds like the ClearAudio Mc plus Basic+ would give me a pretty decent "starter" TT setup.

They do have an option of the Basic+ for an outboard battery supply. Wonder if that's a worthy upgrade?

You might look for a Lehmann black cube. I had one in my system for several years and liked it enough to have kept it as a back-up to my Aesthetix Rhea. It's a very good phono amp and there's a (used) SE version listed for sale here on A'gon right now for a little over 400 euros (US $550).
