Hello there Simon here. I’m new to the vinyl community with the following setup Fluance RT84 with 2m Blue MM cartridge, Fluance PA10 preamp and Fluance Ai60 active speakers. Nothing fancy but generally good enough for my use. Having said that I’m looking to improve the overall sound, crispness and clarity while eliminating the occasional hum I experience. I’m assuming the pre-amp should be my first upgrade would everyone agree. Looking for recommendations on which model. The PA10 is not bad based on my limited knowledge so I’m thinking maybe the entry level Graham Slee will not give me significant improvement.’

Hi Simon
Don't dismiss the Communicator a lot on here are vary happy with it and also have up graded it with the PSU1 power supply, one thing you will notice with all GS phono amps is the low back ground noise, you know the pops and things. try out the loaner program and see (hear) for your self

Thanks Jonathan sounds like sound advise. The loaner program sounds perfect. Yes the communicator does sound good with the enhanced power supply but I’m so confused I think to experience it is really my best option

I should have add that if you go for the loan of the Communicator see if you can get both power supply's then you can make up your mind if the PSU1 is worth going for, I think you will be surprised?
I'll tell you I got a surprise with the low noise from my 1st GS phono amp them came the sound quality.

Loaner program is the best way to go. You can ask to borrow more than one unit if you wanted to compare between two models.
