Title: reduction with Quickie
Post by: aragorn723 on May 25, 2015, 08:15:49 AM

Hi,

Will the reduction work well with the Quickie?  I'm in the process of getting a turntable, and will eventually need a phono stage.  I'm guessing the sound quality is pretty good  as BH kits get better when the price goes up, but will I be able to hear a difference between the Reduction and the phono stage in my Onkyo ht receiver (gonna hook up the tt to that first, then eventually the Quickie).  Thanks,

Dave

Yes, provided your phono cartridge has 4+mV of output.

A lot of phono stages built into other pieces of gear are simply afterthoughts.  I would recommend keeping the Onkyo around to do the comparison yourself once your vinyl rig is setup.
