Troika Troubles

Unless I'm mistaken the BC27 has only 59db of gain. My current pre-amp has 62db and you almost have to turn it up full to get a reasonable amount of volume.
One option I have been told about is the Trichord Dino. It has selectable loading and gain,but I have no idea of how it sounds and unfortunatly it seems likely I'd have to buy itunheard.

Why don't you look at Blue Circles BC27. It has more than enough gain for the Troika. At a later date it can upgraded to Pi version for even better sound.

Message boojiking ( Mike Soares ) who is a Linn expert. He had a phono stage for sale this morning in your range. He'll tell you if it'll work with a Troika, and he might point you at an alternative if his is sold or not up your street. Good luck !
