Pre amp – Phono stage ?

[Dave Wilkins]

Hi

Could anyone give me some advice and explanation of phono pre amps and Bang and Olufssen turntables please ? I appreciate some already have a built in pre amp but others do not .

My current Linn Sondek is being used with a pretty expensive Project phono stage . I used to have an MC cartridge but now use MM ones .

If I buy a B and O turntable that requires a pre amp ( RIAA) what should I buy please ? Or can I continue with my current phono stage ?

Many of the RIAA pre amps that appear to be suitable are not too expensive so is it best to go with one of these rather than spending a load of money on a phono stage ?

Have I previously been wasting money on an expensive phono stage when a cheap one would do ?

Cheers

Hi!

I have a RIAA I purchased from Sounds Heavenly (sponsor on this site). I use it between my Beogram 2200 and a Beocenter 9300.

It works very well and have a good price.

You can always try with your current phono stage.
