USNRET Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Same with solid state; not tube specific but "line stage" is a preamp not having phono stage. There are 2 different phono stages as well; MM / HOMC and MC . Moving magnet / High Ouput Moving Coil and /or the Moving Coil. If you have a line stage and want to add a turntable you would have to replace the preamp or buy an external phono stage suitable for the cartridge in use.

The Dude Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Are you interested in DIY, or something that works right out of the box? A lot of folks like the line stage idea, even if they do play LPs, that way they could upgrade the phono preamp any time. Juicy Music Blueberry Xtreme II would be a good one to look for.

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted October 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted October 26, 2015 Juicy Music Blueberry Xtreme II would be a good one to look for. I didn't realize they had a remote. It was an option later on, I believe that most do not have a remote. Does Craig's preamp come with a remote option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted October 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted October 26, 2015 Here's one. http://www.needledoctor.com/Jolida-JD5T-Remote-Unit-w-Tube-Preamp That is an excellent suggestion Carl. What speakers will these be powering? What are your main sources? CD? Streaming from Computer, Digital files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joessportster Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hands down the best tube pre amps I have heard, owned, I believe Fred does offer a remote option. His prices look scary but if you talk to him and work with him directly he has options......... http://www.emotiveaudio.com/sira.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speakers are a pair of khorns, With a pair 120 watt Dynaco MK VI tube amps, mainly playing cd and lps You will never use more than 10 watts on those Khorns.
