Help on Control/Pre Amp

[admin_exported]

Hello all,

First posting-so stick with me!

Currently using a Linn axis TT, Epos M12.2 speakers , Quad 405/2 power amp and a quad 34 pre amp with Graham Slee phono stage. Just added an Arcam R dock(look at me going all fancy and modern!).

My real passion is vinyl and I'm not completely satisfied with what I'm hearing. Could anybody advise what I could replace the 34 pre amp with, that is compatible with the 405. I'm thinking that possibly this is the week link and I could get something better/more modern to replace it.

Any advise would be most welcome.

Thanks,

Mark.

Nothing wrong with the 34 pre, especially when used with the 405/2.

I'd suggest you consider a more up to date phono stage to use with it, such as the Musical Fidelity X-LPS v3 (£250 or so) or the Gram Amp 2 SE from Graham Slee, which is the same kind of money.

Thank you.

I'm currently using the Gram Amp 1 bridge phono stage - so might try the musical fidelity.
