    RC-1090 phono stage

    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 of the pre alone and I would think the RC-1090 pre phono stage would be a step up from the 1070 (MM only - 1090 is MC & MM).

      I have a RC990BX and Rega P3, the sound is A1. Yours is more current and a step up, should be vvg. Enjoy.

        RDC-7's Phono Stage
        by Burke Strickland
        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...

        Rotel RC-1090 phono stage
        by miner
        I am considering re-entering the world of vinyl and was curious if any other RC-1090 pre owners were satisfied with the phono stage on their pre-amp. Being able to use either MM or MC cartridge with this pre was a factor for me when shopping to replace my RC-1070. TT and cartridge recommendations...
