Anyone RC1090 users happy with the phono stage on the pre? I recently purchased a Rega P5, Exact2 cartridge and TTPSU (power supply unit) but have yet to hook up - need to rearrange. Just wanting some feedback on the quality of the phono stage. When I bought my first pre, RC1070, I bought because of the good review on the phono stage, but it only accepted a MM cartridge. Any replies appreciated. Thanks guys, and, gals.

I've used several different MM cartridges on my SOTA Comet turntable/1090 setup.
Been very satisfied and have enjoyed lots of lps with various carts under $100-Grado Blue, Sumiko Oyster, AudioTechnica 440MLa. My next step will be to try a high output MC cartridge.
Looks like you've invested in some nice equipment. Enjoy

Lately, I've been looking at the VPI Scout with JMW 9 arm, which is usually sold as a package on several online sites like audioclassics or acousticsounds. Some of you guys might know of it from a... -
Anyone else "into" vinyl? NOT the kind you wear -- such as 1970's disco pants :>) -- but rather, the kind you spin for music. In other words, LPs!
One nice feature of the RDC-7, which you won't find in many competing models, is the built-in phono stage. Given the superb... -
I have the following system : VPI Scout turntable with Ben Micro Ace (high output) cartridge, MF A1008 amplifier and ProAc Response D25 speakers. I am using the built-in phono stage. Often in the audio press there are disparaging views on phono stages that come as part of the amplifier and the general... -
Have recently got back inot vinyl. Rig consists of a Rega P5, Exact cartridge & TTPSU. I am happy with the sound but am always tweaking. Would a outboard phono stage <$500 improve the sound over my onboard PS? A writer who did a review on the RC-1070 said the phono stage was worth the cost...
