table, phono preamp or cartridge?

the Rogue he owns has a tubed stage, no?

Dear Mswobo: IMHO try to have the best phonolinepreamp you can get because it's there where that precious cartridge signal is proccessed and where that cartridge signal " suffer " or can " suffer " a very hig degradation, so as better your phonolinepreamp as better quality performance level you can achieve for any cartridge you own.

Latter on you can go for the Black or whatever knowing that you have the " right " phonolinepreamp to honor that cartridge.

Regards and enjoy the music,

I agree with Raulirugas.A good phono preamp would be my first choice. If phono is your only source check out the E.A.R.834P,it has a volume control so you can go direct into your amps . BTW tubes is the only way to go!

My dealer suggested I go with a preamp also..

Going to call tomorrow and take a Rogue home for a demo.

Is there a way to get better cabling on a RP1?

The Rogue 99 Preamplifier is a Tubed Design, isn't it??

Mswobo already has Tubes in his system.
