Morning all
Hope I have put this in the correct section. Can you run this setup without a preamp, turntable, phono stage, propius (2) or do you need the preamp to split the signal into + & - . Sorry if this sounds daft but here comes another one. Rega planar2 with exact cartridge or rp6 with carbon cartridge which would sound the best. Cheers Dave |

The Proprius has a volume control.
You can connect a source directly to a Proprius if you want to, and yes you need 2 of the Proprius to play stereo. On the RP front, the RP6 has a better tonearm, and it has a proper external PSU. It's altogether better made than the RP2 was. It should perform better than the RP2, even with a less expensive cartridge hanging off the end of the arm. |

The new Accession phono preamp has an output level control (volume control) on output 2 which can be used to control a power amp.
The Proprius can be used single ended by taking the signal to pin 2 of an XLR and shield to pin 1. The unused pin 3 can be connected to pin 1 or left open. When preamped by the Accession the Proprius volume controls can be parked up full, or vary one slightly if stereo balance needs tweaking. |

Yes to the OP. I connected my DAC directly to the loan Proprius amps and used their volumes.

Dave,
Graham is describing a "single ended to balanced XLR" cable. It would have a RCA on one end and XLR on the other ( RCA TO XLR ). This works great on the input to the Proprius amps. Here to help, |
