To all the Vinyl Gurus out there
I play my Rega RP1 turntable through my Denon PMA 1500AE amplifier (integrated). My TT came fitted with an Ortofon cartridge on which was an OM5E stylus -- which I understand is a rather basic/entry level stylus. Right ??
In my bid to improve the audio quality, I intend doing the following
1. Getting the "Performance Pack" from Rega for the RP1
2. Replacing the current stylus with the Ortofon OM30. Have read that this is an excellent stylus. I understand it is a simple remove & refit process. Wanted to understand will this be case of stylus overkill, given my humble TT ?
3. I was also planning to opt for a phono preamp as I don't know how good the phono stage in my current amplifier is. My options were Rothwell Rialto & Graham Slee Gram Amp 2 SE. Have not tried them, going largely by reviews
Do my "upgrade" plans make sense ? Will they give the desired results ??
Sorry for my long post, but, brevity was never one of my strengths :lol: Look forward to all your inputs
