Haha, right... I'd still choose that over the other way around. I might put your knowledge (and patience) to the test down the road when I start to ask silly questions. For now I'm just going to lurk a bit to soak up whatever is here already and figure out the forum etiquette so I don't make a complete fool of myself. Thanks again for having me. |

Simon, glad to have you here. You came to the right spot for a nice phonostage. When you start up again what will you be using to spin your Vinyl?

Thanks Sturgus.
I have an old Lenco L75 that I have made some small modifications to. It's in really good condition, if I may say so myself. The arm is currently fitted with an Audio Technica AT95 cartridge. I also have a headshell with a Shure M75 cart for which I have several different styli, but I don't use it much. Another two headshells are in a drawer, waiting to be equipped. I have been looking at something like a Nagaoka MP110 as it should be suitable for the Lenco's slightly odd tonearm. I'm open for other suggestions too, but will most likely stick to MM carts. After that comes the phono pre, which will be kicked out (it's a cheapo and "anything" would probably be an improvement, but when I upgrade I want it to be right). The amp and speakers were bought as a package deal when I was a student (and on a student's budget) about ten years ago. Speakers are Dali Lektor 2 and the amp... is it ok to mention it here? The amp would probably be next in line (after the phono pre) for replacing and speakers might come after that. Some floor-standers would be nice, but I'm not sure what the wife would think. So I'm not just trying to find a phono pre to match my current system, but something that can also keep up with improvements in the rest of the chain. As far as external factors go, the system is in the living room and used by the whole family (I'm the only one playing vinyl, but the system is also used for cd's, movies, streaming, video games etc). I'm lucky to have kids who love music as well and I don't want a system so exotic that I'm afraid to let them touch it. Even the five year-old plays cd's and spotify and I rather like it that way. This will give you an idea of where I'm going - best possible sound in a normal family living room with decent user friendliness and without having to sell a kidney or two. Easy-peasy, right?
