Phono preamp for Tory JR V2
11/25/24 at 02:06:03
 
I am looking for a phono preamp for my Tory Jr v2.
My options are: Rega MK 5, Pro Ject S2 tube, Graham slee 2, Lineman Limetree, Belllaris VP 130 tube and Shiit Skoll.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Edu Smiley

The Skoll w/o question.
I use one fully balanced when using my Stax rig. It is far better than it has any right to be for so little money.
Just for context, the analog front end is 20K+ and the Stax back end is 8-10K depending on which headphones I use. the Skoll acquits itself more than admirably in that setup.
My next step is to take the SE outputs into my SE84CS driving my dynamic cans and see what gives. I hope to get that done this weekend.


I'll report back after I do.
Cheers,      Crazy Bill

I ran the Rega Mk5 preamp for about a year with my Rega turntable and really liked the synergy between them.  I sold my MK5 only to upgrade to the Decware phono preamp and can never look back.  I have no experience with the other phono preamp units you are asking about….but I do own a Schiit Bifrost2 Dac, and have no complaints. So if others are recommending the Schiit, I would say to put it as a contender.
