Title: Eros 2 with Elys 2 cartridge
Post by: eddhartwellmusic on September 12, 2020, 09:11:45 AM

Hi, sorry if this question has been broached a lot before, but thinking of building the Eros 2, to go with Rega Planar 3, Elys 2 MM cartridge into Naim Uniti

Is the Eros suited for MM cartridges?
Any other potential issues you can think of?

Sorry for the obvious, probably repeated, question!

The Eros is a moving magnet phono preamp and is well suited to your cartridge.  I used a Super Elys with an Eros for quite some time myself.

I'm using the Eros with a Rega P5 and Rega Exact cartridge (into an Extended Foreplay III).  Works great, but it's a lot of gain...I have to attenuate at the power amp inputs.

Yeah, the E-FP-III has a lot of gain to spare.
