Hi. Last year I inherited an AR “The Turntable” from my dad (last time used was 25 years ago). It took me a lot of research, hours of work and $$ but I have it like new almost new everything and it sound extremely good but just a bit bright in my opinion. I am looking at something that gives me more warmth or less high pitch in the voices.. NOW my speakers are a bit bright but when I use CD the pre amp do wonders and makes it sound amazing.
My current set up is : My equipment is: AR The Turntable, Jelco 750D for tone arm, Hanna EL MC cartridge, Emotiva XMP-1 for pre-amp... Emotiva XPA-1 for amp.. and since the Emotiva XMC-1 don't have a phono input, I have the TT connected to a Parasound Z phono... and the Zphono to the emotiva pre-amp.
Basically I am looking to substitute the Zphono for a small under $1,000 pre amp that is a bit warmer … possibly a tube one.
Any ideas or suggestions.
Many thanks!!
Luis
