Phono pre-amp

There was in fact an alternative to the somewhat priced Pro-Ject Tube Box I wrote of lately. I found a lot of reviews - bot at TNT-Audio and several others - giving high praise to the Cambridge 640P RIAA. Capable of handling both MM and MC pick-ups and at a price a good medium price pick-up lower than the Tube Box it was a no-brainer. It got ordered tonight ;-) 

Now I am waiting impatiently to hear it compared to the phono stage of the Exposure 2010 - that will be interesting!

And the next question? - Hm, the Denon DL 160 high output MC pick-up get many fine comments? But then there is also the DL 103R, the DL 304, some Ortofons, some Bentz ....
