Question Phono-preamps

[RenoSteve]

Upgrading fron a base pro-ject phono preamp for a fluance RT84 TT and Cambridge CX81 integrated amp. Any suggestions for a good match?

 

[Mavayr]

Using a Cambridge Solo with a Fluance RT83 and a CX81, they work well

Thanks, any comparison to the Shitt Manni?

What is your current phono amp?

I doubt many would be able to answer that because of Scitts' lack of familiarity / availability outside of the States.
What is you top budget?
If it's around $349 then I would strongly suggest this:-

MoFi Studio Phono Pre-Amp Review. Best Starter Phono Pre?? Yes, and then some! By Steve Huff Since getting back into Vinyl fully just recently with a beautiful Dr. Feickert Volare turntable (walnut) and a Koetsu Black Cartridge I knew I would need a nice phono pre amp to go along with this...

I'd like to keep it under $500 US, currently using a basic pro-ject phono preamp.

Have tried a Project phono amp further up the range? They are better than their cost makes people think.

 

[RenoSteve]

Have not, only the base model just a little gun shy on Project. Not that there was anything wrong just would like more detail.

Went from a NAD PP2 to a S2 ultra, so £60-200 and 2007 to 2022 big difference. Turntable circa £1k when new 2007 ish cartridge ortofon rondo Red.
