I am due hopefully my pre back from art audio, bit of a conundrum.
my usual cartridge is a van den hul grasshopper , low output, 200 ohm impedance, but the vp1 is mm only, I do have a back up a music maker mm but it's a poor fit on my tone arm (tri planar mk7) so choice is change arm or get a suitable step up.
No sure what I need in way of step up or mc phono stage,or what is compatible, not to fussy about format , tube or silica,
other choice is tone arm, what is fit for a Hadcock, is stogi any cop with the music maker?
my budget is £500 ish, I have had to blow the esl 57 budget , and more
on the Art audio amps, so this is all that's left.
thanks folks
