Title: Eros 2 vs. Reduction
Post by: cpditter on October 12, 2022, 12:32:47 PM

Hi:

I've currently built a reduction phono preamp and the Moreplay preamp, running these to a Tubes-4-Hifi ST-70 power amp and my speakers are Klipsch Forte II's. Current phono cartridge is the Ortofon Orange MM.

I'm thinking I'd like to delve into the world of MC phono cartridges.  Looks like I would have to move to your Eros 2 and a high-output MC cartridge?

Can I pair the Eros 2 with the Moreplay with good results?

Thanks,
Chuck

Yup that would be a great combo with cartridges in the 2.5mV range.

I would also add that, while not recommended, my HOMC Hana cartridge which is only 2mv still sounds pretty good to me through the Eros.
