Get another phono amp.I've just bought a NR1200 and a pair of Fyne Audio F302s, arrive on Mon. Can't demo so hoping they are a good match. I listen to a lot of music including vinyl so slightly concerned about the phono stage but didn't want to give up the movie watching via the amp (upgrading from an old Sony SDR) Seemed to tick all the boxes otherwise.
Is the phono amp poor on this?Get another phono amp.
If it has the same phono stage as the PM6007 (and I think it does) it is surprisingly capable.Get another phono amp.
From all the reviews I’ve read and watched it’s merely serviceable, maybe the 6007 has a better one. Remember this device is trying to do many things at once, at around the same price or slightly more.If it has the same phono stage as the PM6007 (and I think it does) it is surprisingly capable.
Try out the NR1200’s phono input. I don’t think it’s bad but reports suggest it’s not engaging. If you have a sizeable LP collection I’d look at something like Rega’s own Fono MM at about 200 pounds, or ifi Zen phone. The Rega is a bit expensive but worth it if you plan to upgrade.Rega RP1
The 6007 stage is definitely more than serviceable. It's better than my external NAD PP3 stage and as enjoyable as those I've had in Rega amplifiers.From all the reviews I’ve read and watched it’s merely serviceable, maybe the 6007 has a better one.
