    rq970bx Phono Preamp

    :?:I purchased a Rotel RQ970BX phono preamp to use with my Shure MM cartdrige. Unfortunally the output gain on this phono preamp is very low at ablut 35db. I need to increase it to 40 to 42db. I understand that two resistors need to changed. Does anybody know what resistor need the change and to what value?

    For the best information on something like this it would be better just to go straight to the horse, and ask tech. support. Their email is techsupport@rotel.com

        Honestly, I'd get rid of the Rotel and got something else. I used the RQ970 for 11 months, and replaced it with a Musical Fidelity XLP-S with a high-current power supply. I couldn't believe the detail I was missing when using the Rotel.

          I have the Parasound PPH-100 Phono Preamp but am being told that it is an entry-level unit and will be the “weak-link” in my system, and that a higher-end preamp is a "must" if I want to get full benefit...

          Rotel 1068 & phono preamp recommendation
          by PSUfan
          Recently acquired a near mint yamaha yp-d6 turntable. I'm new to vinyl and would like any recommendations on a good entry level phono preamp. It has a stanton epoch ii cartridge on it which I believe is mm but just to be safe I was thinking I should buy a preamp with mm & mc capabilities. Thanks...
