Hi all. New to the forum, keen to dig into the archives and learn more - plus I wanted to ask for some advice. I’ve just bought a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo with standard 2M red cartridge and its being added to my old [but gold] basic setup.
I’m running everything through a Rotel RA-04 amp and B&W 685’s, with an old Macbook Pro for Spotify/other digital music coming into the amp via an SMSL SU1 DAC.
Still to sort a solution for coaxial or toslink CD playing (my original RCA equipped PS1 doesn't seem to want to read discs anymore!), but my question was around the phono stage in the Rotel. Do people think its going to be good enough to drive the PDCE or should I invest in a separate phono stage?
I listen to a lot of stuff: from electronica and soul to hip hop and funk. The room is pretty small but one day I do want to add some streaming ability to the rest of the house.
Thanks in advance!
