Hello all,
I am new here. I am a retired engineer and live in Columbus, OH
I was thinking of upgrading my phono preamp and was hoping that a few of you might recommend
a few. I am willing to spend up to $1200 if need be.
Below ids a description of my system feel free to comment.
Many Thanks!
Turntable: Rega RP6 with just about all the mods except a new tone arm
Cartridge: Rega Exact 2
Phone stage: Graham Slee amp 2 SE
System: Pre Amp/ processor: Krell HTS
Power Amp: Kell showcase 7
Disc player: Oppo UDP-205
Speakers: 7.1 speaker layout. Primary speakers used by the turntable are B&W 803’s towers
The remaining speakers are also B&W’s matched to the 803’s

Listening room: It is an acoustically corrected room the corrections were designed and installed by professionals. Dimensions are approx.: 15’ wide by 20’ deep
What do I listen to: mostly Rock and Roll along with some classical music.

Check out the basic entry level Tron - if you want valves they are superb sounding and great VFM. If tubes are your thing check out the EAR834P too - very musical - not overly analytical - superb soundstage
