Phono stage upgrade
« on: 11 Jul 2005, 02:29 pm »
It is the tine to upgrade my phono stage. For the first year of comeback in vinyl I used a heavy modded NAD 1130. For its price ($200) it is superb. Now, I would like to try something else.

My budget is $600 (including the power supply).

My cartridge is an Ortofon Super OM40 (MM).

What is in your opinion the best (used) phonostage under $600 for Moving magnet?

Thank you for your help.

The Cornet2 by Hagerman. Excellent sounding pre. But you need to put it together as it is a kit. Assembled its around $1000. The kit can be done for under $300.
