I often turn my Stereomour all the way up when playing vinyl (using a Seductor). Gain just isn't enough sometimes, though, and I have put a Quickie in between the Seductor and Stereomour for when I really want to crank it. It sounds nice.
But I want a step up (plus, I'm tired of switching out batteries). One option would be to get a Smashand use the Stereomour as a power amp for all inputs. The other is to get an Eros. I imagine I would get about the same gain from the Smash as from the Quickie, but with a more refined sound. The Eros would get me more gain, but not as much, right?
What would you do in my situation?
