Hello!
i’m thinking to match the Technics SL-1000R with the Esoteric E-02 preamp.The next machine in the chain is a TriodeLab EVO 2a3, and a pair of Klipsch Cornwall. What do you think?
thanks, community! :)

I would also include cartridge (and tonearm if not Technics) in the equation...

Consider the STST Motus II over the SL-1000R. You could then put the difference into an upgraded cart or arm.

Sorry to be so late.
I have matched with Esoteric E-03 and now Accuphase C47.

Thank you!
Finally I bought a Luxman EQ-500. I'm happy with it but I have the Accuphase C47 and the Nagra Classic Phono in my short list for the future... ;)

I was happy with the Esoteric 03, I upgraded to the Accupahse C-47, I have no regrets!
