Hello everybody
I'm going to change the preamp, and it must necessarily have at least an MM phono.
Making a selection and considering the golden age of high fidelity, the choice fell on three models, CJ Evolution 20, Audio Research sp10 sp11 and 15
Let's say that for reasons of historical importance I'd take the sp10, but I've read that the phono, although excellent, is not very silent, especially if with efficient speakers, so you have to look for very silent valves, the pre-line is nothing exceptional but discreet. The sp11, on the other hand, seems to have a better line preamp and a much quieter phono, even if in general a less magical sound. The 15 instead has the same phono as the 11 but with a better line stage. Then there is the Evolution 20 of which I have not read any defects.
Can you help me make a reasoned choice?
The amp is a Conrad MV60.
Thank you
