In Reply to: Pre-amp upgrade...with Masterlink Recorder in mind. posted by freaknhell on September 14, 2006 at 10:46:01:
Have you consider putting a Preamp with rec-out in the chain and use the Rec. out from Pre-Amp?

Sort of. I was soon going to be in the market for a good integrated anyway. For instance....TT > Integrated w/ phono > Alesis Masterlink? Could it be that simple? For some reason I was thinking I might lose some fidelity buy using an integrated instead of just a good stand alone phono pre-amp. That is, a $1k phono pre-amp would probably be a better buy in my setup at this point, than a 1k integrated (NAD etc.)..maybe resulting in better sound. Admittidly probably unfounded reasoning.
I use stand alone phono preamp -> preamp. and Preamp rec out -> masterlink. This way, you have freedom to change out different stand alone phono preamp independent of preamp.
In my experience, it was very hard to find a good integrated preamp with flexible(MC capable and adjustable gain and loading) built in phono stage and have rec-out on top of it. And the time I thought I found a good one, I upgrade my cartridge and have to start it all over again.
Do you have any recommendations for a pre-amp with rec out, say in the 750-1k range, and it could be used. I'm thinking maybe getting the Wright phono to go with it.
