rantan Posted December 8, 2019 Posted December 8, 2019 @Redterratoo Were you using this with a turntable and if so, how would you rate the phono stage? Thanks. 1
Redterratoo Posted December 8, 2019 Author Posted December 8, 2019 Hi Rant I only listen to vinyl really. I was happy with the on board phono until I hooked a Modwright to it......like chalk and cheese but the Modwrights a $5000 piece of kit tubes also. I haven’t tried anything else to compare but I did live with the onboard phono for quite a while. The Modwright added a lot more headroom. Cheers...Russell. 1
