Been slowly accumulating my collection over the years and wanted to get some feedback from trusty Reddit
Current setup:
- Denon DP-300F turntable
- Ortofon 2M Blue cart
- Yamaha RX-V667 receiver (also used for TV + Bluetooth)
- Audes 037.1 tower Estonian speakers
- Pinnacle Baby Boomer Sub
Setup details:
- Sub crossover bypass ON, using receiver crossover (~80 Hz)
- Sub phase/volume dialed in by ear
-Using Denon’s TT built-in phono preamp right now
System sounds good overall, but I feel like there’s more I can get out of it.
Considering:
- Possibly adding a dedicated phono preamp (looking at a used Rega Fono MM Mk5 for ~150)
- General setup optimization (placement, isolation, etc.)
Questions:
1.Is the phono preamp upgrade the right next move or should I focus elsewhere first?
2.Anything obvious in my setup that I might be overlooking?
